This patent describes a process for the production of industrial and power gases in which a bed of solid fuel or a mixture of solid fuel with oil is subjected to alternate blowing and gas-making periods in a generator. The process consists of subjecting the fuel in the generator to blowing, withdrawing blowing gases from the generator, passing said gases through a regenerator to heat the same (thereafter passing steam through said regenerator to produce superheated stream), and mixing said superheated steam with oil. The said superheated steam is at a sufficiently high temperature and possesses sufficient sensible heat to crack the oil which is passed through the generator to make gas. The made gas is withdrawn from the generator between a boundary of the reaction zone and a boundary of the fuel bed. The said made gas is mixed with oil to carburet the same which is being effected solely by the sensible heat of the made gas.
