METHOD OF INTENSIFYING THERMAL CRACKING OF HEAVY HYDROCARBONS AND INSTALLATION FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: petroleum processing.

SUBSTANCE: petroleum products are heated in tubular furnace and decomposition products are additionally held in external reaction chamber. Heating of reaction mixture in tubular furnace is accomplished at temperature and pressure corresponding to inhibition parameters of petroleum product decomposition reaction assuring, after dropping pressure at the outlet of furnace, transfer of the reaction mixture into accessible overheating state followed by transferring molecules of the most temperature-resistant petroleum product components into non-associated state during decomposition proceeding in reaction chamber. Cracking installation comprises heating furnace and external reaction chamber communicating over throttle reactor in the form of hydraulic resistance device allowing drop of pressure at the outlet of furnace and feeding cracking process-intensifying homogenous additives into reaction zone of external reaction chamber.

EFFECT: increased yield of desired volatile fractions from heavy petroleum products.
