                  Descriptions with diagrams are given of the Lurgi process utilizing O₂ and pressure for the direct gasification of lignite for city gas, and the Koppers process using O₂ and steam and atmospheric pressure to gasify a wide range of fuels.  Synthesis gas is produced by the latter process by modifying the proportions of O₂ and steam.
