Before the synthesis gas centers the reaction space, CH₄ is added in such an amount that, after the termination of the reaction and separation of the nongaseous products, a high-grade fuel gas of normal heating value remains as residual gas. Coke-oven gas may be decomposed by steam and the products mixed with water gas to make a synthesis gas of composition CO:H₂=1:2 and 4-4.5% of CH₄.
