Process for producing kerosene from renewable sources

A process for producing kerosene from a renewable feedstock, the process comprising the steps of:

• reacting a renewable feedstock in a hydroprocessing section under hydroprocessing conditions sufficient to cause a hydroprocessing reaction to produce a hydroprocessed effluent;
• separating the hydroprocessed effluent to produce at least one hydroprocessed liquid stream and at least one separation system offgas stream;
• directing one or more of the at least one hydroprocessed liquid stream to a work-up section, comprising a product stripper and a product recovery unit;
• stripping one or more of the at least one hydroprocessed liquid stream in the product stripper to remove gases from the one or more of the at least one hydroprocessed liquid stream to produce a stripped liquid product stream and a stripper offgas stream;
• directing a gas stream comprising gases selected from the group consisting of one or more of the at least one separation system offgas stream, the stripper offgas stream, and combinations thereof, to a gas-handling section to obtain a pressurized gas stream and a hydrocarbon fraction that is liquid at a pressure in a range from 0.5 to 15 barg (0-1.5 MPaG) and a temperature in a range from 0 to 50° C.;
• recycling the hydrocarbon fraction to the work-up section;
• and
• separating a kerosene stream from the stripped liquid product stream in the product recovery unit.
