A divided wall column can allow for fractionation of multiple streams while maintaining separate product qualities. Effluents from multiple stages of a reaction system can be processed in a single divided wall column. The divided wall column can produce multiple cuts from each separated area, as well as at least one output from a common area. At least one reaction stage can advantageously have a continuous liquid phase environment.

1. A method for producing low sulfur distillate products, comprising: hydrotreating a feedstock under effective hydrotreating conditions;hydrocracking the hydrotreated feedstock in a first hydrocracking stage under first effective hydrocracking conditions;fractionating the hydrocracked feedstock in a first volume of a divided wall column fractionator to produce at least a first diesel product fraction and a first bottoms fraction;hydrocracking a portion of the first bottoms fraction in a second hydrocracking stage having a continuous liquid environment under second effective hydrocracking conditions;dewaxing the hydrocracked portion of the bottoms fraction in a dewaxing stage having a continuous liquid environment under effective catalytic dewaxing conditions; andfractionating the hydrocracked, dewaxed bottoms fraction in a second volume of the divided wall column fractionator to produce at least a second diesel product fraction and a second bottoms fraction,wherein the second diesel fraction has at least one improved cold flow property relative to the first diesel fraction, and the second bottoms fraction has at least one improved cold flow property relative to the first bottoms fraction. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first effective hydrocracking conditions include a temperature from about 200° C. to about 450° C., a total pressure from about 5 barg (about 0.5 MPag) to about 300 barg (about 30 MPag), an LHSV from about 0.05 hr−1 to about 10 hr−1, and a hydrogen treat gas rate from about two times to about fifteen times the hydrogen consumed during the hydrocracking, the first hydrocracking stage being in a continuous gas phase environment. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first effective hydrocracking conditions include a temperature from about 200° C. to about 450° C., a hydrogen partial pressure from about 5 barg (about 0.5 MPag) to about 300 barg (about 30 MPag), and an LHSV from about 0.05 hr−1 to about 10 hr−1, the first hydrocracking stage being in a continuous liquid phase environment. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second effective hydrocracking conditions include a temperature from about 200° C. to about 450° C., a hydrogen partial pressure from about 5 barg (about 0.5 MPag) to about 300 barg (about 30 MPag), and an LHSV from about 0.05 hr−1 to about 10 hr−1. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the effective catalytic dewaxing conditions include a temperature from about 280° C. to about 380° C., a hydrogen partial pressure from about 300 psig (about 2.1 MPag) to about 3000 psig (about 20.7 MPag), and an LHSV from about 0.1 hr−1 to about 5.0 hr−1. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one improved cold flow property is cloud point and the cloud point of the second diesel fraction is at least about 10° C. less than the cloud point of the first diesel fraction. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the sulfur content of the first diesel fraction is about 15 wppm or less. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one improved cold flow property is pour point and the pour point of the second bottoms fraction is at least about 10° C. less than the pour point of the first bottoms fraction. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the effective hydrotreating conditions include an LHSV from about 0.3 hr−1 to 5.0 hr−1, a total pressure from about 500 psig (about 3.4 MPag) to about 3000 psig (about 20.7 MPag), a temperature from about 650° F. (about 343° C.) to about 800° F. (about 427° C.), and a hydrogen treat gas rate from about two times to about five times the hydrogen consumed during the hydrotreating. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the second diesel fraction and the second bottoms fraction are not recycled to the dewaxing stage, and wherein said hydrocracking of the bottoms fraction further comprises hydrocracking of a portion of the first diesel fraction.
