Abstract

Process for the production of very valuable low molecular weight gasiform hydrocarbons starting from higher molecular weight hydrocarbons, by thermal transformation of the starting material in the presence of a heat carrier in the form of gas or steam and maintained at elevated temperature, according to the main patent 228138 mixing the starting material and the hot thermal carrier with high current velocity of the latter and introducing the mixture into a reaction chamber which is widened in such a manner towards the mouthpiece inlet of said mixture that the the thermal carrier and the starting material are run in the same direction and without contact of the solid limiting surfaces, characterized in that the reaction mixture leaving the chamber of the latter at a temperature of about 700 [deg.] c. Is first cooled to a temperature of 200 - 250º by direct contact with water and then in the mixture of the action (useful or production gas) thus cooled, is injected, before an electrostatic gas purifier (e.g.r.) enters a liquid containing higher boiling point hydrocarbons (diluting oil) in such an amount as the leaving residue of the e.g.r. With temperatures between 50-150º it is pumpable and vaporizable and which is then used as a heating medium for the preferably regenerative heating of the gaseous or vapor-like thermal carrier.
