Abstract

A process for quenching and cooling the reactor effluent in a thermal regenerative cracking (TRC) system is disclosed. The process for quenching the reactor effluent includes the steps of introducing particulate solids into the reactor effluent stream, passing the composite stream of reactor effluent and particulate solids in indirect heat exchange relationship with a coolant, separating the solids and quenched effluent and returning the separated solids to quench effluent.
