Continuous pyrolysis and decoking process for use in the production of acetylene

摘要

A process for the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons in a reactor with at least two rows which are parallel to each other in which at least one row is supplied with a non hydrocarbon fluid containing steam to decoke the reaction zone at least in part. At least one other row is supplied with a gaseous mixture containing at least one hydrocarbon and water, to pyrolyze said mixture.
