The process uses a reactor 1 which comprises a reactor body 2 provided with a plurality of parallel passages 4 and two manifolds 6 and 7 having two separate segments 8, 9 and 10, 11, and comprises continuously rotating the reactor body about its central longitudinal axis 5; supplying to segment 8 of manifold 6 the hydrocarbon feed, allowing in the passages 4 the structure of components in the hydrocarbon feed to change to produce a product with simultaneous formation of carbon deposited on the walls of the passages, and removing the product from the corresponding first segment 10 of manifold 7; and combusting separately a fuel to produce hot flue gas, and supplying to the segment 11 of manifold 7 the hot flue gas, allowing the carbon to oxidize and removing the formed effluent from the segment 9 of the opposite manifold 6. <IMAGE> |
