Reaction apparatus and production process for olefin production using direct conversion of methane

Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a reaction apparatus for olefin production, including a feed separation unit that separates a methane feed and a light hydrocarbon feed from a supplied hydrocarbon feed; an ethane cracking unit that receives the light hydrocarbon feed from the feed separation unit and performs an ethane cracking process to produce an olefin product; a dielectric barrier reaction unit that receives the methane feed from the feed separation unit and generates a saturated hydrocarbon feed and an unsaturated hydrocarbon feed through plasma reaction; and a hydrogenation unit that hydrogenates at least a portion of the unsaturated hydrocarbon feed to produce an olefin product.
