Jahnke, F C

An apparatus is described for the simultaneous partial oxidation of a primary fuel stream comprising a high metals or ash containing liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel or a slurry of solid carbonaceous fuel and a secondary fuel stream to produce a raw gas stream comprising: a vertical cylindrically shaped steel pressure vessel with a coaxial inlet port in the upper end of the vessel and a coaxial outlet port in the lower end of the vessel; a coaxial vertically disposed first gasification burner mounted in the upper inlet port for discharging reactant feedstreams directly into a first vertical coaxial free-flow refractory lined reaction chamber where partial oxidation of the fuel feedstream takes place to produce a first raw gas stream. The bottom of the first reaction chamber is frusto-conical or hemispherical shaped. The apparatus also comprises a coaxial free-flow refractory lined gas diversion chamber with an upper inlet and side and bottom outlets located below the first reaction chamber.
