✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A novel experimental setup allowed both the kinetics of the thermal cracking of ethane and of the coke formation to be studied over a temperature range extending from 750 to 870°C. The overall kinetics of ethane disappearance are in excellent agreement with previously reported pilot results. Coking rates are initially high but rapidly decrease to reach an asymptotic value. The initial product distribution also differs from the asymptotic product distribution. A kinetic model for the coking is derived from the experiments and used in conjunction with a set of conservation equations for the simulation of industrial ethane cracking. The predicted run length, thickness of the coke layer and evolution of the tubeskin temperatures are in agreement with industrial observations.

The coking and cracking behaviour of a heavy oil fraction derived from Stuart shale oil was investigated in a moving packed-bed reactor. Experiments were performed to evaluate the conversion of heavy oil into lower-boiling products, coke and gases when contacted with fully burnt shale ash and sand.
