This patent describes a gas generator consisting of a first vertical reactor vessel having a particulate solids inlet adjacent the top and a particulate solids outlet adjacent the bottom. The vessel also contains interconnected conduit means extending from the bottom of the first reactor vessel to the solids inlet of the second reactor vessel with means to introduce fuel gas in the reheater vessel and remove products of combustion from the upper and lower parts of the reheater vessel. A steam inlet is located at the lowermost part of said communicating conduit with means to carry particles from the lowermost part of said communicating conduit to the first reactor vessel. It also contains means to add coke to the said communicating conduit, means to remove the coke, the second reactor vessel having a gas drawoff for the removal of oil-gas, and the generator being adapted to the circulation of coke which is preheated in the reheater vessel. The heated coke in passing through the first reactor vessel at a high temperature will convert the steam to water gas, after which the coke at a slightly lower temperature will pass through the second reactor vessel wherein it reacts with the oil to produce oil-gas, after which the coke is returned to the reheater vessel.
