FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing a middle distillate from hydrocarbon-containing energy sources. At least one hydrocarbon-containing energy source, optionally at least one catalyst and optionally at least one additive are fed into a reactor, which contains a process oil mixture, as raw material. A stream of the process oil mixture is output from the reactor and heated to operating temperature ranging from 150°C to 400°C, preferably from 350°C to 380°C. The stream of heated process oil mixture is fed into a degasifier. In the degasifier, the vaporous middle distillate is separated from the stream of heated process oil mixture. The stream of process oil mixture from the degasifier, from which the vaporous middle distillate has been removed, is returned to the process oil mixture in the reactor.
EFFECT: providing a method of producing a middle distillate from hydrocarbon-containing energy sources, which is cheap, requires low technological expenses and provides high process stability and high yield factor of calorific value of the energy sources used.
