A system for chemical processing includes a hollow structure including a side wall having an exterior surface and an interior surface defining an internal volume. The hollow structure has a center axis, a length, and an outer perimeter. The outer perimeter is a shape of the exterior surface of the side wall of the hollow structure in a plane perpendicular to the center axis. The system includes a metallic object positioned within the internal volume of the hollow structure. The system also includes at least two magnets slidably coupled to the exterior surface of the side wall, where the magnets guide movement of the at least one metallic object within the hollow structure. The magnets operate to impact the metallic object against the solid deposits to loosen the solid deposits from the interior surface of the side wall.

A process for upgrading a heavy oil includes passing heavy oil and disulfide oil to a thermal cracking system that includes a thermal cracking unit and a cracker effluent separation system downstream of the thermal cracking unit and thermally cracking at least a portion of the heavy oil in the presence of the disulfide oil in the thermal cracking unit to produce solid coke and a cracking effluent comprising reaction products. The reaction products include one or more liquid reaction products, one or more gaseous reaction products, or both. The presence of the disulfide oil in the thermal cracking unit promotes conversion of hydrocarbons from the heavy oil to the liquid reaction products, the gaseous reaction products, or both relative to the production of the solid coke.
