The aim of the invention is to devise a method for discharging slag from a water bath (2) of a reactor for synthesis gas production in which the slag is brought to a lower pressure level by means of a transfer vessel (6a, 6b) which method allows a low temperature to be achieved for the components involved in the discharge of the slag while making immediate slag discharge possible without water exchange and with minimal cooling power being required. This aim is achieved by feeding to the stream of slag in the outlet region of the slag from the water bath of the gas generator or the pressure vessel surrounding the latter a stream of cooling water (9a) in an area of greater cross section (14) than the cross section of the inlet connector of a further part of the plant, such as for example of the transfer vessel, in such a way that a temperature stratification is made possible in the outlet region. |
