Abstract

A laboratory steam-cracking reactor was designed, built and tested in order to compare yields under different operating conditions. A typical industrial gasoline was used as feedstock to test the reactor. The design of the reactor was found appropriate to crack hydrocarbon feedstocks and the olefin yields follow the expected trends.
