A process including preheating a hydrocarbon feed, feeding the preheated hydrocarbon stream to a second preheat zone for cracking, and feeding the cracking feed stream to one or more coils in a radiant section to recover a cracked hydrocarbon product. The process includes injecting excess air and cooling the cracked hydrocarbon product in a transfer line exchanger. The system includes a pyrolysis heater, a first and second preheat zone of the convection heating zone, and one or more coils in the radiant heating zone. The system includes one or more inlets for injecting an amount of excess air, one or more electrical heating elements in the radiant heating zone, and a feedline for directing the cracked hydrocarbon product to a transfer line exchanger.
A pyrolysis process using a hybrid heater for converting a hydrocarbon mixture to produce olefins, the process comprising:
A pyrolysis system using a hybrid heater for converting a hydrocarbon mixture to produce olefins, the system comprising:
The system of 17, further comprising a convection zone air preheater configured to preheat an air stream fed to the convection heating zone.
