The process of cracking is conducted within the reaction system embracing the first reaction zone and the second reaction zone; hydrocarbons feedstock in a liquid state is introduced into the first reaction zone where such a temperature is maintained which enables running of cracking reaction. The liquid reaction mixture from the lower part of the first zone flows into the lower part of the mentioned second zone, where the reaction mixture flowing in from below is divided in numerous streams flowing upwards. Into every of such liquid streams, a stream of gas is introduced from below which, along with the reaction mixture, forms a liquid-gas mixture which is heated when flowing upwards by indirect exchange of heat with the heating medium and then the heated mixture flowing out up above from the mentioned second zone is turned back into the first reaction zone. Cracking products are carried away from the upper part of the first zone. The system for hydrocarbons feedstock processing contains the tank-type reactor (1) and the tubular reactor ( 5 ). The tubular reactor is provided with the parallel tubes ( 6 ) mounted in the casing and directed from below to the top. The tank-type reactor is connected with the tubular space of the tubular reactor by the means of bottom pipe ( 4 ) and upper pipe (12) . Each tube ( 6 ) has a small tube ( 7 ) installed on its lower end, with an inlet directed in principal coaxially to the tube's (6)
