Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A NON-CATALYTIC PROCESS FOR CRACKING HYDROCARBON OILS TO PRODUCE AROMATICS AND NORMALLY GASEOUS, UNSATURATED ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS COMPRISING CONTINUOUSLY HEATING PETROLEUM OIL TO A CRACKING TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OT 1200* TO 1700<F. WHILE MAINTAINING A HYDROCARBON PARTIAL PRESSURE OF 30-300 P.S.I.A. FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SUFFICIENT TRO CONVERT 25-50 WT. PERCENT OF SAID TO C3 AND LIGHTER HYDROCARBONS, THEREAFTER REDUCING THE HYDROCARBON PARTIAL PRESSURE BELOW 30 P.S.I.A., MAINTAINING THE OIL SO REDUCED IN PRESSURE WITHIN SAID CRACKING TENPERATURE RANGE FOR A PERIOD SUFFICIENT TO OBTAIN A TOTAL CONVERSION OF SAID OIL OF 35 TO 60WT. PRECENT C3 AND LIGHTER HYDROCARBONS, SAID TOTAL CONVERSION BEING AT LEAST 5% GREATER THAN THE CONVERSION OBTAINED IN THE FIRST ZONE, COOLING THE CRACKED PRODUCTS AND SEPARATING FROM THE COOLED PRODUCTS AROMATICS AND UNSATURATED ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS.
