Summary:The invention relates to a process and a device for the production of electricity from hydrocarbons and that uses a fuel cell. The present invention relates to a process for the production of electricity in a fuel cell from hydrocarbons that includes passing a cooled effluent in a first circuit having at least one filter for depositing soot in the filter. The filter is regenerated when concurrently passing the cooled effluent in a second circuit. The present invention also relates to a device for implementing the process.
