Process of manufacturing gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6741852
This patent describes a process of producing an enriched water gas by admitting steam and air to a water gas making container having a charge of coke therein. This is formed with a plurality of open-ended vertical flues extending therethrough. The process involves discharging the heated blast gases during an air blow to a superheater and passing the water gas produced during a gas-making period in the container to a second container having a fuel charge formed with a plurality of vertical flues extending therethrough. The charge contains volatiles to be removed by said water gas to enrich the same. The enriched gas is passed through the superheater, and then collecting the same.
