Estimating the term…
An apparatus for pyrolysis of hydrocarbon starting products comprises a horizontally split casing for molten heat carrier. At least one injector having a nozzle for feeding hydrocarbon starting products to the casing and at least one pipe for removal of pyrolysis products are mounted in the upper part of the casing. The apparatus also has means for supplying heat to the heat carrier. According to the invention, the injector is mounted in such a manner that the outlet section of its nozzle is spaced apart from the surface of the heat carrier at a distance which is sufficient for the formation of a hydrodynamic crater in this surface under the action of a jet of hydrocarbon starting products flowing from the nozzle. Means for supplying heat to the heat carrier is arranged within the casing in such a manner that heat is supplied directly within the heat carrier. The invention enables the reduction of residence time of hydrocarbon starting products in the high-temperature zone and improvement of output of the pyrolysis process. In addition, the invention may be used for both low- and high-viscosity heat carriers. Due to the use of the invention, more lower olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons may be produced.
In an apparatus for pyrolysis of hydrocarbon starting products, casing means having an upper hollow interior gas space and accommodating in its interior below said gas space a heat carrier which is adapted to be placed in a molten condition, first jet supply means extending downwardly into said gas space and having an open bottom discharge end situated in close proximity to an upper surface of said heat carrier for introducing into said casing means a jet of hydrocarbon starting products for creating with said jet a hydrodynamic crater in the upper surface of said molten heat carrier and for directing the jet of hydrocarbon starting products into the bottom of the thus-created crater to flow upwardly in said crater from the bottom toward the top thereof in the form of a thin layer along the crater surface in a manner providing an intensive transfer of heat from the heat carrier to the starting products, so that pyrolysis products leave the crater and emerge into the gas space over the heat carrier, heating means operatively connected with said casing means for placing said heat carrier in said molten condition, said heating means comprising a second jet supply means for supplying a gaseous heating agent to the upper surface of said heat carrier for creating therein a crater at said upper surface into which the jet of gaseous heating agent flows for transferring heat to the heat carrier to place the same in said molten condition, baffle means carried by said casing means in the interior thereof between the first and second jet supply means and extending to a depth which is only slightly below the upper surface of the heat carrier for dividing the space over the heat carrier into a pyrolysis zone with which a first discharge pipe means communicates and a zone for receiving gaseous heating agent, said first discharge pipe means being operatively connected to said casing means and communicating with said upper gas space for receiving said pyrolysis products and discharging them from said casing means and second discharge pipe means communicating with the gaseous heating agent receiving zone for removing gaseous heating agent therefrom.
