     Concise description of total pressure gasification of solid fuel by means of pure O₂ and superheated steam.  The advantages of this method over previous processes are presented.  The operation takes place under a pressure of 20-30 atm., with extensive formation of CH₄, which renders the process so exothermic that consumption of O₂ is greatly reduced.  The throughput is increased 5-fold over previous methods because of the reduced amount of gas necessary.  Gives some results of pressure gasification of various fuels and includes flowsheets and diagrams of plant with operating data.
