    Abstract: A process for producing ethylene by oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane using a shell-and-tube reactor having reaction tubes extending between a first end and a second end includes disposing one or more catalyst beds in each of the reaction tubes. In each of the reaction tubes, a ratio of a total length of the one or more catalyst beds between the first end and the second end to a diameter of each of the reaction tubes has a value between 150 and 400. The shell-and-tube reactor is operated at a linear velocity of 250 to 800 cm/s, and the one or more catalyst beds are configured such that a ratio of active catalyst mass to effective cooling area is in a range between 1.5 and 5 kg/m2.

    Abstract: A method of steam cracking using a steam cracking arrangement including an electric cracking furnace without a convection zone and a quench cooling train is proposed, wherein a process gas stream is passed through the cracking furnace and the cooling train. The cooling train is operated to comprise at least two distinct cooling steps arranged in either order, wherein in a first cooling step at least a part of the process gas stream withdrawn from the electric cracking furnace is cooled against vaporizing boiler feed water at an absolute pressure level between 30 and 175 bar and wherein in a second cooling step at least a part of the process gas stream withdrawn from the electric cracking furnace is cooled against a superheated mixture of feed hydrocarbons and process steam used in forming the process gas stream which is thereby heated to a temperature level between 350 and 750° C.

    Abstract: A reactor for carrying out a chemical reaction includes a reactor wall and at least one group of M reaction tubes, each of which has an electrically heatable heating section that extends between a first and a second removal region. Each heating section has a respective feed region in a region which extends over 20% to 80% of a heating length of the heating section and electrically conductive feed elements. Each group M is paired with the feed elements connected to the feed regions of the group, and different phases of the alternating current can be fed to different feed elements paired with a group. Each group is paired with M first and M second removal elements connected to the first or second removal regions of the group, respectively. Each group is paired with a first and a second star bridge.

    Abstract: A method for producing one or more hydrocarbons, includes subjecting a first feed stream to a steam cracking to obtain a first product stream and subjecting a second feed stream containing ethane to an oxidative dehydrogenation to obtain a second product stream At least a portion of the first product stream is subjected to a treatment to obtain hydrocarbon fractions. The treatment includes a selective hydrogenation of hydrocarbons having two carbon atoms and a demethanization. At least a portion of the second product stream is subjected to a trace removal, which comprises the removal of oxygen and/or acetylene, to obtain an subsequent stream. At least a portion of the subsequent stream is fed to the treatment at a position downstream of the selective hydrogenation and upstream of the demethanization. A portion of the subsequent stream is subjected to a carbon dioxide removal upstream of the feed point into the treatment.
