Abstract
Systems and processes for the hydroprocessing of a hydrocarbonaceous feed are provided that utilize a plurality of moving bed reactors. The reactors may be moving bed radial flow reactors. A hydrogen injection point can be provided prior to each reactor by providing a mixer that mixes hydrogen with a hydrocarbonaceous feed, or with the effluent stream from an upstream reactor, to produce a reactor feed stream. Catalyst can be provided from the reaction zone of one reactor to the reaction zone of a downstream reactor through catalyst transfer pipes, and can be regenerated after passing through the reaction zones of the reactors. The moving bed reactors can be stacked in one or more reactor stacks.
