Process of making carburetted water gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7009878

This patent describes a process of manufacturing water gas by alternately introducing an air blast and a steam run into the fuel bed of a gas generator. Then admitting heavy oil into the top of the generator simultaneously with the steam run to enrich the resulting gas. The said air blast is introduced in a reverse direction into the generator and downwardly through at least the upper portion of the fuel bed to consume carbonaceous deposits resulting from the admission of said heavy oil. The air blast gas is then removed from the generator at a point below the top of the fuel bed.
