ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the thermal conversion of methane into hydrocarbons of higher molecular weight, comprising a reactor (1) of elongate form, connected on the one hand, at a first end, to an inlet for supplying gaseous mixture containing methane (process gas) and on the other, at the opposite end, to an outlet (10), the reactor comprising on the first end side a plurality of elements disposed in at least two layers disposed between two refractory walls, at least one refractory wall being disposed between the outside walls of the reactor, the layers being substantially parallel to the axis of the reactor, at least one of these layers comprising a series of sheaths (4) inside which there are electric heaters (3) which thus form a layer of heating elements, the elements being disposed in such a way as to define spaces or passages for the circulation of gaseous mixtures and/or effluents, the heaters and the sheaths being adapted to heat the said passages by successive independent cross-sections substantially at right-angles to the axis of the reactor, each cross-section comprising at least one transverse row of elements.
