Abstract
A process and system that use the heat produced in the generation of Syngas to provide heat to an endothermic reaction zone are disclosed. A method for providing heat to an endothermic reaction may comprise producing Syngas in a reforming reactor. The method may further comprise recovering heat from the producing the Syngas to heat an endothermic reaction stream in a heat transfer zone. The method may further comprise allowing reactants in the endothermic reaction stream to react to form an endothermic reaction product stream. The method may further comprise withdrawing the endothermic reaction product stream from the heat transfer zone.

A method for providing heat to an endothermic reaction, comprising:
- producing Syngas in a reforming reactor;
- recovering heat from the producing of the Syngas to heat an endothermic reaction stream in a heat transfer zone;
- allowing reactants in the endothermic reaction stream to react to form an endothermic reaction product stream;
- and
- withdrawing the endothermic reaction product stream from the heat transfer zone.
A method for reducing flue gas emissions from furnaces of endothermic reactions, comprising:
- supplying an endothermic reaction stream to an endothermic reaction zone;
- recovering heat from a Syngas in the endothermic reaction zone to heat the endothermic reaction stream;
- and
- allowing reactants in the endothermic reaction stream to react to form an endothermic reaction product stream.
A system, comprising:
- a reforming reactor operable to convert a hydrocarbon-containing feed into a Syngas;
- a heat transfer zone operable to recover heat from conversion of the hydrocarbon-containing feed;
- and
- an endothermic reaction zone disposed in the heat transfer zone.
