The invention is a pyrolysis furnace for cracking heavy oils to olefins. The furnace includes a convection zone and a radiation zone. In parallel streams, the heavy stream and a stream diluent are heated in the convection zone to the point of partial thermal cracking while in the other stream a lighter oil and steam are cracked to produce olefins. The hot, olefinic light stream is then mixed with the heated heavy stream and further cracked in the radiation zone.

Process and apparatus for the production of olefins from both heavy and

A process for producing improved yields of aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylene) by initially partially thermally cracking heavy hydrocarbon and thermally cracking ethane to high conversion and then completely cracking the partially cracked heavy hydrocarbon with the completely cracked ethane.
