An integrated vapor-liquid separation device is provided in conjunction with a steam pyrolysis cracking unit operation. In certain aspects, a feed is charged to the inlet of a convection portion of a steam pyrolysis unit where the feed is heated to conditions effective for steam cracking The convection section effluent is separated in a vapor-liquid separator and the separator vapor effluent is charged to the inlet steam cracking portion of the steam pyrolysis zone. The liquid effluent can be further processed, recycled within the system or a combination thereof. In additional aspects, a feed separated upstream of the convection portion of a steam pyrolysis unit using a flash vessel equipped with a vapor-liquid separator device described herein.
