Abstract
A hydrocracking process is disclosed. The hydrocracking process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feed stream in a hydrocracking reactor in the presence of a hydrogen stream and a hydrocracking catalyst to produce a hydrocracked effluent stream. The hydrocracked effluent stream is separated in a separator to provide a vapor hydrocracked stream and a liquid hydrocracked stream. The liquid hydrocracked stream is fractionated to provide a naphtha stream, a kerosene stream having a T90 temperature of about 204° C. (399° F.) to about 238° C. (460° F.), a diesel stream having a T90 temperature of about 360° C. (680° F.) to about 383° C. (721° F.) and an unconverted oil stream. The kerosene stream, the unconverted oil stream, and a portion of the diesel stream is recycled to the hydrocracking reactor for hydrocracking.
