Abstract
A reactor comprises at least one burner, to which hydrocar-bonaceous gas and gas rich in 0.sub.2 are supplied. The hydrocar-bonaceous gas is supplied to the burner through a transfer line at temperatures of 100 to 1300.degree. C. and a pressure in the range from 10 to 70 bar. Adjacent the orifice end of the transfer line, which is connected with the burner, there is provided a screen-like perforated wall through which the hy-drocarbonaceous gas can flow. This wall ensures a uniform gas flow in the burner, and at the same time it prevents solid matter from a certain size onwards from penetrating into the sensitive portion of the burner and settling there.
