    Abstract: An ethylene plant comprising an electrically-powered pyrolysis reactor and a process for producing a pyrolysis reactor effluent using the ethylene plant. The pyrolysis reactor comprises a feed inlet for a hydrocarbon feedstock-diluent mixture and an outlet for a pyrolysis reactor effluent comprising ethylene. The plant further comprises a heat exchanger configured to transfer heat from the pyrolysis reactor effluent to the feed for the pyrolysis reactor. The heat exchanger comprises a feed inlet and a feed outlet upstream of the pyrolysis reactor, and further a pyrolysis reactor effluent inlet and a pyrolysis reactor effluent outlet. A feed passage way is present between the feed outlet of the heat exchanger and the feed inlet of the pyrolysis reactor and further a feed passage way is present between the reactor effluent outlet of the pyrolysis reactor and the cracked gas inlet of the heat exchanger.
