METHOD FOR PLASMOCHEMICAL HYDROCRACKING OF HEAVY HYDROCARBON FRACTIONS AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC C10G15/12 C10G47/00 

FIELD: technological processes; metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: heavy hydrocarbon fraction, previously heated up to 60-350°C, is exposed to plasma for hydrocarbon molecules splitting into atoms in high temperature area without oxygen access, further "bombardment" of other hydrocarbon chains with them, their crushing and hydrogenation in reaction zone, which results in creation of light hydrocarbon fractions, at that plasma represents ionised high-temperature gas.

EFFECT: simplification of technology for plasmochemical hydrocracking of heavy hydrocarbon raw material, combination of heavy hydrocarbon fractions cracking and hydrogenation into single process, possibility to adjust extent of hydrocarbon molecules crushing with time of their bombardment with hydrogen and carbon atoms and temperature of raw material supplied into reactor, provision of possibility for device to operate in several technological modes.
