Abstract:
Methods and systems for producing diesel arc provided. The method for producing diesel can include cracking a first hydrocarbon Iced in a first riser under first cracking conditions to provide a first effluent containing a first light cycle oil, a heavy cycle oil, and a first bottoms and fractionating at least a portion of the first effluent to separate the first bottoms and the heavy cycle oil from the first light cycle oil. The method can include cracking the separated first bottoms in a second riser under second cracking conditions to produce a second effluent containing a second light cycle oil and a second bottoms. The method can also include cracking the separated heavy cycle oil in the first riser under third cracking conditions to provide a third effluent and mixing the third effluent with the first hydrocarbon feed to provide the first cracking conditions.
