A process for preparing synthesis gas.

摘要

A process is provided for preparing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon-containing fuel in the absence of moderator gas. A hydrocarbon-containing fuel and an oxidiser are supplied through a reactor mix type burner to a gasification zone under oxygen blast conditions. At least the rim(s) of the burner internal(s) separating the fuel from the oxidiser at the rim tip(s) is (are) made of, or lined with, a ceramic material or a noble metal or a noble metal alloy.
