1. A system for treating non-petroleum or renewable feedstocks containing oxygen and contaminants of one or more of metals, gums, and resins, the system comprising:
a reactor having a heat source for heating an interior of the reactor, the reactor being configured to receive a feedstock of a non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing oxygen or contaminants of one or more of metals gums, and resins at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec within the interior to facilitate heating the feedstock to a temperature of from 700° F. to 1100° F. to form a reactor product having one or more of gums and resins in the fats and/or oils of the feedstock removed and/or reduced;
a first heat exchanger configured to cool at least a portion of the reactor product to a reduced temperature to form a reduced-temperature reactor product;
a hydroprocessing reactor containing a hydroprocessing catalyst configured to receive at least a portion of the reduced-temperature reactor product to form a hydroprocessed product;
a second heat exchanger configured to receive the hydroprocessed product to cool the hydroprocessed product to a temperature of 250° F. or less to form a cooled hydroprocessed product; and
a separator configured to separate and remove non-condensable gases, metals and water from the cooled hydroprocessed product to form liquid hydrocarbons that form a final product.
