Abstract

The present invention relates to a device and a process for manufacturing synthesis gases through the combustion, under lack of oxygen, of a hydrocarbon fuel by use of a gaseous oxidizer, the device comprises primary injection means (2) producing, following an axis (14), a jet of fuel and of part of the oxidizer in a combustion chamber of a reactor, said jet comprising a main flame substantially originating at the level of the primary injection means (2) and extending from the primary injection means. The device also includes secondary injection means for injecting a complementary amount of oxidizer into the combustion chamber, the secondary injection means being arranged to direct the complementary amount of oxidizer into the jet at a distance from the primary injection means.
