Slurry phase reactor with internal cyclones

A system for processing a hydrocarbon feed, comprising:

• a plurality of serially aligned reactors, the plurality of reactors including a final stage reactor, the final stage reactor including:
• a vessel, an inlet formed in the vessel for receiving the hydrocarbon feed, a reactor section formed in the vessel, the reactor section receiving the hydrocarbon feed via the inlet;
• and
• a separator section formed in the vessel, the separator section configured to form a substantially gas stream and a substantially non-gas stream, the separator section including:
• a nozzle separating the reactor section from the separator section, the nozzle having an opening directing the hydrocarbon feed, hydrogen, and reaction products from the reactor section to the separator section, a first outlet formed in the vessel from which the substantially non-gas stream exits the vessel;
• at least one cyclone separator positioned inside the separator section and configured to produce the substantially gas stream;
• a second outlet from which the substantially gas stream exits the vessel;
• and
• a deflector plate positioned in the vessel and configured to re-direct flow from the nozzle to a wall forming the vessel.
