1. A system for converting whole crudes and other wide boiling hydrocarbon streams to produce olefins and/or aromatics, the system comprising:
a separation system for separating a whole crude into at least a light boiling fraction, a medium boiling fraction, and a high boiling residue fraction;
a hydrocracker for hydrocracking the high boiling residue fraction to form a hydrocracked effluent, and separating the hydrocracked effluent to produce a resid hydrocracked fraction and a fuel oil fraction;
a first conditioning reactor for destructively hydrogenating the medium boiling fraction to form a first destructively hydrogenated effluent;
a second conditioning reactor for destructively hydrogenating the resid hydrocracked fraction to produce a second destructively hydrogenated effluent;
a mixer for mixing the first and second destructively hydrogenated effluents to form a mixture and a hydrocracker for hydrocracking the mixture to form produce a hydrotreated and hydrocracked effluent;
one or more flow lines for feeding the hydrotreated and hydrocracked effluent and the light boiling fraction to at least one of a steam cracker and an aromatics complex to convert hydrocarbons therein into petrochemicals and a pyrolysis oil and/or an ultra-low sulfur fuel oil (ULSFO).
