Liquid fuels, such as mineral oils, their distillation residues, gas oils, and tars, are gasified under a pressure of 15-20 atm. at 1,200°-1,300°, with a slight excess of steam. A part of the required moisture may be introduced as an aqueous emulsion of the fuel. The reaction temperature is maintained constant by igniting and oxidizing a part of the fuel by O₂ or air enriched with O₂. Gives structural details of the furnace.
