Abstract

A shell which encloses an interior and has at least one first orifice for feeding at least one gas stream into the interior and at least one second orifice for withdrawing a gas stream fed to the interior beforehand via the at least one first orifice from the interior, the surface of the shell, on its side in contact with the interior, being manufactured at least partly, in a layer thickness of at least 1 mm, from a steel which has a specific elemental composition, and in the interior, a process for continuous heterogeneously catalyzed partial dehydrogenation of at least one hydrocarbon to be dehydrogenated is carried out in a reactor which is manufactured from the steel on its side in contact with the reaction gas.
