Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for processing hydrocarbons are provided. In one embodiment, a method for processing a hydrocarbon stream including lighter hydrocarbons and heavier hydrocarbons includes hydrocracking the lighter hydrocarbons in a hydrocracking reactor. After hydrocracking the lighter hydrocarbons, the method hydrocracks the heavier hydrocarbons in the hydrocracking reactor. The method includes removing from the hydrocracking reactor a hydrocracking effluent comprising a mixture of components formed by hydrocracking the lighter hydrocarbons and hydrocracking the heavier hydrocarbons.
