  • Publication number: 20230407186
    Abstract: A method of thermally cracking a hydrocarbon feed (105) includes feeding the hydrocarbon feed (105) into at least one coil (130) in a reaction section (112) of an electric heater (110), using electrical energy to heat the hydrocarbon feed (105) in the electric heater (110) to a reaction temperature, and directing a reaction output from the electric heater (110) to at least one exchanger (150) to cool the reaction output.

  • Publication number: 20220098496
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and processes for producing olefins and/or dienes. The systems and processes may include thermally cracking a C1-C4 hydrocarbon containing feed to produce a cracked hydrocarbon effluent containing a mixture of olefins and paraffins. The systems and processes may also include dehydrogenating the cracked hydrocarbon effluent to produce a dehydrogenated hydrocarbon effluent containing additional olefins and/or dienes.
