This patent describes a process of producing enriched water gas by alternately passing streams of air and steam through a bed of ignited carbonaceous fuel in a generator during a plurality of successive blow and gas-making periods. The process involves decomposing the steam during its passage through the fuel bed during each gas-making period. It also introduces to said generator a small quantity of a composite carbonaceous fuel consisting of oil and comminuted carbon in a substantially ribbonlike form from which fuel volatiles are vaporized and mixed with the passing water gas. This occurs while the carbonaceous residue deposits are on the fuel bed before a succeeding air blow at which time the temperature of said bed is raised. The enriched water gas thus produced and collected.
