Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0487157A1] A process and apparatus for preparing synthesis gas by partial oxidation of a finely divided solid carbon-containing fuel. In an upflow entrained gasifier the gases leaving the reactor are cooled in a radiation or convection cooler located above the gasifier. In order to prevent the cooled gases to flow back into the gasifier part a restriction is provided between the gasifier and the cooler above. The gas velocity in the restriction should be at least 2 and maximum 30 times higher than the superficial upward velocity of the gases in the gasifier.
