Process of manufacturing mixed coal gas and carburetted water gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7204889
This patent describes a process of manufacturing gas by partly distilling coal in an inclined or horizontal body and freely conducting off the resulting gas without passage through coke for retaining volatile illuminants. The partly distilled coal is pushed into a vertical body and completes the distillation. At suitable intervals hydrocarbon oil is sprayed into the distilling retort and passes the resulting vapor and gas down through the incandescent coke for conversion into fixed enriching gas. Such gas is passed off at the base and mixing it with the coal gas.
