PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SYNTHESIS GAS FROM HYDROCARBON FUEL

摘要

A burner for producing synthesis gas by partial combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel in liquid state or in slurry state with an oxidant consisting of oxygen or an oxygen- containing gas, comprises a housing enclosing a central outlet channel (8) for low velocity oxidant surrounded by a first annular outlet channel (9) for high velocity oxidant which first annular outlet channel is encompassed by a second annular outlet channel (10) for hydrocarbon fuel, said second annular outlet channel (10) having an inclined outer part directed towards the first annular outlet channel (9).
