Abstract
The invention concerns an improved method for the thermal conversion of methane to hydrocarbons of higher molecular weights. The method is based on the utilization of a multichannel system of ceramic material in which the charge and heating fluids or cooling fluids pass alternately through rows of channels, constituting a continuous assembly comprising a pyrolysis zone followed by a quenching zone.
