NOVELTY - Producing a hydrocarbon product comprising paraffin from at least a first and a second portion of renewable feedstock involves: treating first portion of renewable feedstock in a first reaction zone to provide a first effluent comprising paraffin; passing at least a portion of first effluent to a second reaction zone and treating second portion of renewable feedstock in second reaction zone by hydrogenating and deoxygenating second portion of renewable feedstock at reaction conditions to provide a second effluent comprising paraffin; and recycling a recycle stream.    USE - For producing a hydrocarbon product comprising paraffin from at least a first and a second portion of renewable feedstock (claimed); and for producing paraffinic hydrocarbons useful as fuel from renewable feedstock such as the triglyceride and free fatty acids found in materials such as plant oil, fish oil, animal fat, and grease.    ADVANTAGE - By introducing the renewable feedstock to the deoxygenation reaction zone in at least two portions at different locations in the deoxygenation reaction zone, and providing recycle to the lead location with the recycle to feed ratio based on the quantity of feedstock introduced at the lead location, the total volume of recycle stream is significantly reduced. Reduced recycle stream results in smaller recycle pumps, a smaller recycle condenser, and possibly smaller heat exchangers or heaters.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Producing a hydrocarbon product comprising paraffin from at least a first and a second portion of renewable feedstock involves: 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 paraffin; 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 paraffin; and recycling a recycle stream comprising a portion of at least one of the reaction zone effluent to the first reaction zone where the volume ratio of recycle stream to first portion of renewable feedstock is 2:1-8:1, and where the renewable feedstock is selected from poultry fat, babassu oil, used cooking oil, Camelina oil, carinata oil, oleaginous yeast oil, palm kernel oil, and palm fatty acid distillate.
