Abstract
The present invention provides a process for hydroprocessing hydrocarbons in liquid full reactors with one or more independent liquid recycle streams. The process operates as a liquid-full process, wherein all of the hydrogen dissolves in the liquid phase and one or more of the recycle streams may actually be zero. Hydrocarbons can be converted in the process to provide liquid products such as clean fuels with multiple desired properties.
