METHANE CONVERSION APPARATUS AND PROCESS USING A SUPERSONIC FLOW REACTOR

Apparatus and methods are provided for converting methane in a feed stream to acetylene. A hydrocarbon stream is introduced into a supersonic reactor and pyrolyzed to convert at least a portion of the methane to acetylene. The reactor effluent stream may be treated to convert acetylene to another hy...

Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus and methods are provided for converting methane in a feed stream to acetylene. A hydrocarbon stream is introduced into a supersonic reactor and pyrolyzed to convert at least a portion of the methane to acetylene. The reactor effluent stream may be treated to convert acetylene to another hydrocarbon process. La presente invención se refiere a un aparato y métodos para la conversión de metano en una corriente de alimentación, al acetileno. Una corriente de hidrocarburos se introduce en un reactor supersónico y se piroliza para convertir al menos una porción del metano en acetileno. La corriente del efluente del reactor puede ser tratada para convertir el acetileno en otro proceso de hidrocarburos.
