Heat transfer between exothermic and endothermic reactions

Claim 1

IN AN INTEGRATED PROCESS FOR EFFECTING CHEMICAL REACTIONS INVOLVING THE REACTION STEPS COMPRISING AN EXOTHERMIC REACTION AND AN ENDOTHERMIC REACTION, SUCH AS HYDRODESULFURIZATION AND HYDROFORMING, SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF SULFUR AND HYDROFORMING, SYNTHESIS GAS MAKING AND SYNTHESIS, HYDROGENATION AND HYDROFORMING, SYNTHESIS AND CATALYTIC CRACKING OF SYNTHESIS PRODUCT, SYNTHESIS AND REFORMING OF SYNTHESIS PRODUCT, AND CHLORINATION OF BENZENE AND HYDROLYSIS OF CHOLOROBENZENE IN WHICH REACTANT IS PASSED SUCCESSIVLEY THROUGH THE REACTION STEPS AND IN WHICH THE EXOTHERMIC REACTION STEP IS EFFECTED AT A TEMPERATURE NOT HIGHER THAN THE ENDOTHERMIC REACTION STEP AND THE HEAT RELEASED BY THE EXOTHERMIC REACTION STEP IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO THE HEAT REQUIRED BY THE ENDOTHERMIC REACTION STEP, THE METHOD FOR SUPPLYING THE REQUIRED HEAT FOR THE ENDOTHERMIC REACTION WHICH COMPRISES INDIRECTLY CONTACTING WITH EXOTHERMIC REACTION A VAPORIZABE HEAT EXCHANGE LIQUID UNDER A PRESSURE SUCH THAT HEAT EXCHANGE LIQUID IS VAPORIZED AT A TEMPERATURE SUITABLY RELATED TO THE TEMPERATURE OF REACTION, COMPRESSING VAPOR THUS PRODUCED BY INDIRECT HEAT EXCHANGE WITH SAID EXOTHERMIC REACTION, INDIRECTLY CONTACTING WITH ENDOTHERMIC REACTION VAPOR
