The Rockwell molten salt gasification process provides a means of upgrading low-value petroleum coke to fuel gas or synthesis gas. Other carbonaceous materials such as residual oil, coal, and wood can be converted to either low- or medium-Btu gas by using air or oxygen, respectively, as the primary oxidant. A description of the process, its advantages and economics are given.
