Abstract
Abstract Process for the partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous fuel using a multi-orifice burner comprising a central channel and four concentric channels encircling the central channel. Liquid or solid fuel is supplied through the second concentric channel and the oxidizer is supplied through the first concentric channel and the third concentric channel. Hydrocarbon gas and/or moderator is supplied through the central channel and the fourth concentric channel. The mass ratio of liquid or solid fuel to hydrocarbon gas ranges from 0 to 1.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A process for partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel which process comprises supplying an oxygen-containing gas and hydrocarbon-containing fuel to a gasification zone through a concentric burner-arrangement of 4 concentric annular channels and one central channel, and producing auto-thermically a gaseous stream containing synthesis gas under appropriate conditions, and further comprises supplying the oxygen-containing gas through the first and third channels of the concentric arrangement at a relatively high velocity of 50-150 m/sec; supplying hydrocarbon-containing gas and/or moderator gas through the central channel and the fourth concentric channel encircling the central channel at a medium velocity of 5-84 m/sec; and supplying liquid or solid hydrocarbon-containing fuel through the second concentric channel encircling the first concentric channel at a relatively low velocity of 0.15 m/sec, provided that the respective velocities are measured at the outlet of the said respective concentric channels into the gasification zone.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A process for partial oxidation of a liquid or solid and/or a gaseous hydrocarbon-containing fuel which process comprises supplying an oxygen-containing gas and hydrocarbon-containing fuel to a gasification zone through a concentric burner-arrangement of 4 concentric annular channels and one central channel, and producing auto-thermically a gaseous stream containing synthesis gas under appropriate conditions, and further comprises supplying the oxygen-containing gas through the first and third channels of the concentric arrangement at a relatively high velocity of 50-150 m/sec; supplying hydrocarbon-containing gas and/or moderator gas through the central channel and the fourth concentric channel encircling the central channel at a medium velocity of 5-84 m/sec; and supplying liquid or solid hydrocarbon-containing fuel through the second concentric channel encircling the first concentric channel at a relatively low velocity of 0.15 m/sec, provided that the respective velocities are measured at the outlet of the said respective concentric channels into the gasification zone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said moderator gas is selected from the group essentially consisting of steam or carbon dioxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the pressure in said gasification zone is in the range of 0.1-12 MPa.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
The process of claim 1 wherein 50±30 mass percent of the total mass flow of the oxygen-containing gas is supplied through the said first concentric channel, and the remaining mass flow is supplied to the said third concentric channel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
The process of claim 1 wherein 60±30 mass percent of the total mass flow of the hydrocarbon containing gas and/or moderator gas is supplied through the central channel, and the remaining mass flow of said hydrocarbon-containing gas and/or moderating gas is supplies to the said fourth concentric channel.
