Manufacture of carburtted gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7009787
A discussion of a process for manufacturing carburetted producer gas, which comprises continuously blasting a bed of incandescent solid carbonaceous fuel with a mixture of an oxygen-containing gas and steam, is presented. By burning a portion of the gas thereby produced, then introducing a liquid hydrocarbon in a separate chamber and employing said combustion to furnish the heat required for the permanent volatilization of the liquid hydrocarbon and the consequent enrichment of the gas, the portion of the gas burned is able to supply sufficient heat for said volatilization and enrichment.
