This patent describes a process of making gas by providing, in a suitable generator, a body of coke and a superposed body of coal in contact with the coke. The process involves passing a blast through the coke while the coal is above it, but not through the coal, causing the coke to become incandescent, and the coal to give off some gas by heat radiated from the coke. The process then involves passing steam through the body of coke to produce water gas which is passed through the body of coal in order to enrich the water gas. This is then passed through a superheater to fix the gas and is mixed with the coal gas first given off. The coke becomes cooled on its under side and with steam then being passed downwardly through the coke forming water gas, which is passed through the superheater and mixed with the other gas.
