Abstract
A process for the conversion of a hydrocarbon feedstock to produce olefins, aromatic compounds and ultra low sulfur diesel wherein the hydrocarbon feedstock is reacted in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) zone to produce olefins and light cycle oil. The effluent from the FCC is preferably separated to produce a stream comprising ethylene and propylene, a stream comprising higher boiling olefins and light cycle oil (LCO). The stream containing the higher boiling olefins is cracked to provide additional ethylene and propylene. The LCO is selectively hydrocracked to produce aromatic compounds and ultra low sulfur diesel.
