HEAVY HYDROCARBON REACTOR

摘要

A reactor for cracking heavy hydrocarbons includes a tube having an internal passage filled with a fluid that includes heavy hydrocarbon material. The reactor is oriented vertically so that the fluid moves downward through the internal passage of the tube. The internal passage includes alternating linear sections and curved sections. The internal passage is oriented so that it lies on a single plane. The reactor may be combined with another reactor to produce a reactor system.
