In a process for making a gas by the interaction of a solid carbonaceous material, a fluid hydrogen-containing fuel and an oxygen-containing gas, the molar ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in the reaction materials is controlled within the range of 1.2 to 1.8, preferably 1.2 to 1.5. Control may be effected by varying the injection rate of the hydrogen-containing fuel or the oxygen content of the oxygen-containing gas. In an example, gas is made from Bunker C fuel in a fluid coke bed using an air blast, the H2 to O2 mol. ratio being kept between 1.2 and 1.8 by varying the rate of feed of the blast, at a temperature of 1800 DEG to 2400 DEG F. The method is applicable to the making of town gas or water gas in moving, fixed or fluid bed apparatus. Other hydrogen-containing fuels mentioned include natural gas, acetylene, coal gas, coke oven gas, oil gas, light petroleum gases (e.g. CH4) and liquid hydrocarbons (e.g. gas oil, crude petroleum, diesel oil &c.). |
