The present disclosure provides a process for upgrading solid biomass feedstocks into more useable products. The process includes introducing a solid biomass feedstock, a liquid carrier, a slurry hydrocracking catalyst to a slurry hydrocracking zone in the presence of hydrogen and under slurry hydrocracking conditions to produce a slurry hydrocracking effluent comprising lighter hydrocarbonaceous products; wherein the liquid carrier is a hydrocracking recycle stream taken only from the slurry hydrocracking effluent; wherein the solid biomass feedstock and liquid carrier are combined upstream of the slurry hydrocracking zone to form a combined feed; the combined feed subsequently being introduced to the slurry hydrocracking zone.

A process for converting naphtha is disclosed. The process comprises contacting a naphtha stream and a hydrogen stream with a catalyst in a reactant passage of a reactor to produce a light paraffinic stream. The reactant passage is cooled by indirect heat exchange with a heat transferred media in a cooling passage adjacent to the reactant passage. The light paraffinic stream is separated into an ethane stream and a propane stream.
