ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process for operation of a plant for the cracking of hydrocarbons. In this process, the hydrocarbons in the cracking furnaces are indirectly heated by the heat incurred in the combustion of a heating medium with an oxygen containing gas. In order to reduce operating costs of such a process, it is suggested to mix the waste gas of a gas turbine with air and to pass the gas mixture to the cacking furnace for combustion of the heating medium whereby an electric generator is powered by the gas turbine.
