Abstract
The present invention is based on the use of a two-step hydrocracking process comprising a step of hydrogenation placed upstream of the second hydrocracking step, the hydrogenation step treating the unconverted liquid fraction separated in the distillation step in the presence of a specific hydrogenation catalyst. Furthermore, the hydrogenation step and second hydrocracking step are carried out under specific operating conditions and in particular under very specific temperature conditions.
