Abstract
A liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel in liquid phase is passed through the center conduit of an annulus-type burner at a linear velocity of one foot per second and below. Simultaneously, a gaseous mixture of substantially pure oxygen and steam is passed through the annulus passage. Upon impact between the two reactant streams at the tip of the burner, atomization of the liquid fuel takes place in the reaction zone of a free-flow noncatalytic partial oxidation gas generator. Mixtures of H.sub.2 and CO are produced thereby unexpectedly containing 25 percent less entrained particulte carbon than that which is produced under similar conditions but with liquid fuel velocities of about 20 feet per second. The gaseous mixtures produced may be used as synthesis gas, reducing gas, or fuel gas.
