A process has been developed for producing fuel from renewable feedstocks such as plant and animal oils and greases. The process involves treating a first portion of a renewable feedstock by hydrogenating and deoxygenating in a first reaction zone and a second portion of a renewable feedstock by hydrogenating and deoxygenating in a second reaction zone and treating the effluents in a finishing reaction zone to provide a diesel boiling point range fuel hydrocarbon product. If desired, the hydrocarbon product can be isomerized to improve cold flow properties. A portion of the hydrocarbon product is recycled to the first reaction zone to increase the hydrogen solubility of the reaction mixture.

1. A process for producing a hydrocarbon product comprising paraffins from at least a first and a second portion of renewable feedstock said process comprising; a) treating the first portion of renewable feedstock in a first reaction zone by hydrogenating and deoxygenating the first portion of feedstock at reaction conditions to provide a first effluent comprising paraffins;b) passing at least a portion of the first effluent to a second reaction zone and treating the second portion of renewable feedstock in the second reaction zone by hydrogenating and deoxygenating the second portion of renewable feedstock at reaction conditions to provide a second effluent comprising paraffins;c) passing the second effluent comprising paraffins to a separation zone to separate a gaseous phase from a liquid phase;d) passing the liquid phase to a finishing reaction zone and treating the liquid phase by hydrogenating and deoxygenating the liquid phase at reaction conditions to provide a finishing reaction zone effluent, wherein the temperature or pressure or both are higher in the finishing reaction zone than in either the first or the second reaction zones; ande) recycling a recycle stream comprising a portion of at least one of the reaction zone effluents or a portion of the finishing reaction zone effluent to the first reaction zone wherein the volume ratio of recycle stream to first portion of renewable feedstock is in the range of about 2:1 to about 8:1. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein the first portion and the second portion of renewable feedstock are generated by separating a feedstock into two portions. 3. The process of claim 1 wherein the first portion and the second portion of renewable feedstock have different compositions. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein the first reaction zone and the second reaction zone are housed in separate vessels. 5. The process of claim 1 wherein the first reaction zone and the second reaction zone are housed in a single vessel. 6. The process of claim 1 wherein the recycle stream comprises both a portion of the first effluent and a portion the second effluent. 7. The process of claim 1 wherein the recycle stream comprises a portion of the first effluent, a portion the second effluent, and a portion of the finishing reaction zone effluent. 8. The process of claim 1 further comprising isomerizing at least a portion of the paraffins in the finishing reaction zone effluent by contacting the finishing reaction zone effluent with an isomerization catalyst at isomerization conditions to isomerize at least a portion of the paraffins to branched-paraffins. 9. The process of claim 1 further comprising separating the finishing reaction zone effluent into a gas phase stream and a liquid phase stream and isomerizing at least a portion of the liquid phase stream by contacting the liquid phase stream with an isomerization catalyst at isomerization conditions to isomerize at least a portion of the paraffins to branched-paraffins. 10. The process of claim 1 where the first reaction zone comprises a hydrogenation and deoxygenation catalyst at a temperature of about 200° C. to about 300° C. and a pressure of about 1379 kPa absolute (200 psia) to about 4826 kPa absolute (700 psia) where the second reaction zone comprises a hydrogenation and deoxygenation catalyst at a temperature of about 200° C. to about 300° C. and a pressure of about 1379 kPa absolute (200 psia) to about 4826 kPa absolute (700 psia); and the finishing reaction zone comprises a hydrogenation and deoxygenation catalyst at a temperature of about greater than 200° C. to about 400° C. and a pressure of about greater than 1379 kPa absolute (200 psia) to about 4826 kPa absolute (700 psia). 11. The process of claim 1 further comprising treating a petroleum hydrocarbon feedstock in the first reaction zone or the second reaction zone. 12. The process of claim 1 wherein the first portion or the second portion of the feedstock comprises at least one component selected from the group consisting of canola oil, corn oil, soy oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, colza oil, tall oil, sunflower oil, hempseed oil, olive oil, linseed oil, coconut oil, jatropha oil, castor oil, peanut oil, palm oil, mustard oil, cottonseed oil, tallow, greases, lard, train oil, fats in milk, fish oil, algal oil, sewage sludge, pyrolysis oil, oxygenated liquids derived from the gasification of coal, oxygenated liquids derived from depolymerization, synthetic oils, and mixtures thereof. 13. The process of claim 1 further comprising blending a portion of the finishing reaction zone product with petroleum derived hydrocarbons to generate a fuel. 14. The process of claim 1 further comprising selectively separating, in a separation zone, at least a portion of the finishing reactor effluent into a diesel product stream comprising a first portion of the paraffins having boiling points in the diesel boiling point range and at least one overhead stream comprising at least LPG and naphtha. 15. The process of claim 14 wherein the selectively separating further provides an aviation product stream comprising paraffins having boiling points in the aviation boiling point range. 16. The process of claim 14 wherein the selectively separating further provides an aviation product stream comprising paraffins having boiling points in the aviation boiling point range. 17. The process of claim 14 wherein the separation zone comprises two or more fractionation columns. 18. The process of claim 14 wherein the separation zone comprises a single fractionation column. 19. The process of claim 14 wherein the separation zone comprises a hot flash drum and at least one fractionation column.
