Abstract
A process for manufacturing synthesis gas (16) from hydrocarbons, water, free oxygen, and a transfer gas containing steam and carbon oxides. The transfer gas is passed through a succession of essentially adiabatic catalyst beds (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and the hydrocarbons (9, 10,11) and oxygen (13, 14, 15) are alternately introduced at the input of each catalyst bed. The transfer gas may be prepared by vivid combustion of hydrocarbon or by hydrocarbon steam-reforming.
