Abstract

A method for operating a reactor for producing synthesis gas, wherein, after gas treatment, a part of the waste heat of the gas production is recycled by subjecting the fly ash-free, cooled synthesis gas to a high-temperature conversion, cooling it again, compressing it, scrubbing it and reheating it, and returning it after partial oxidation into the continuous process.
