Reactor for thermal cracking of a gaseous, hydrocarbonaceous feedstock stream

Abstract

A reactor for the thermal decomposition of a gaseous hydrocarbonaceous feedstock stream in an electrically heated moving bed composed of an electrically conductive granular material with deposition of elemental carbon on the granular material comprises an upper reactor section in which there are disposed a feed for the granular material and an outlet for a hydrogenous product stream, a middle reactor section, and a lower reactor section in which there is disposed a feeding device for the gaseous hydrocarbonaceous feedstock stream, and on the bottom side there is provided an outlet for the granular material, wherein the outlet comprises at least one funnel-shaped oscillating base that can be set in oscillation in vertical and/or horizontal direction by means of at least one first vibration generator and is connected to the lower reactor section via an oscillation-decoupling suspension.
