A process for thermal and, optionally, catalytic upgrading and hydrogenation of hydrocarbons is described, wherein the hydrocarbons (oil) with a lower API grade is passed through one or more reactors connected in parallell or in series, preferably in series, in liquid state where it under pressure and intense agitation at a given temperature is thermally upgraded by increasing API, and that the product is discharged in liquid state, and whereby the agitation is effected by whipping elements, optionally made of a catalytic material acting as a catalyst in upgrading the oil in the reactor.

1. A process for thermally upgrading and hydrogenating hydrocarbons, the process comprising steps of:passing hydrocarbons having a lower API grade through one or more reactors that are connected either in parallel or in series; pressuring the hydrocarbons; agitating the hydrocarbons within the one or more reactors via whipping elements comprising a catalytic material, thereby forming a product having an increased API grade; and discharging the product having an increased API grade in at least a partially liquid state.
