Abstract

This patent describes a continuous process for the production of desulfurized synthesis gas, fuel gas, or reducing gas comprising: (1) reacting a first portion of sulfur-containing heavy liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel and/or sulfur-containing solid carbonaceous fuel containing about 0.2 to 8.0 wt. % sulfur by partial oxidation with controlled amounts of free-oxygen containing gas and temperature moderator in a first free-flow refractory lined reaction zone of a gas generator at an autogenous temperature in the range of about 1900F to 2900F and a pressure in the range of about 2 to 250 atmospheres so that an equilibrium oxygen concentration with a partial pressure which is less than about 10/sup -12/ atmospheres is provided in the gas phase in the first reaction zone and in downstream second reaction zone; and in the first reaction zone the O/C atomic ratio is in the range of about 0.3 to 1.1, the weight ratio of water to solid carbonaceous fuel plus liquid hydrocarbonaceous material, if any, is in the range of about 0.03 to 0.70, about 70 to 98 wt. % of the carbon in the sulfur-containing fuel is converted into carbon oxides, thereby producing a hot gas stream including a raw product gas mixturemore »« less
