Abstract
A catalytic partial oxidation or secondary reforming process wherein a flame is established at a burner upstream of the catalyst is started-up by catalytic combustion of a suitable combustible material to produce a hot gas stream and directly, or indirectly, using the heat from the gas stream to heat the reactants fed to the burner to the autoignition temperature. After a flame has been established at the burner, production of the hot gas stream by combustion of the combustible material is discontinued.
