2H₂+CO is generated from CH₄ in a special 2-compartment oven filled with coke. Enough O₂ to effect the conversion and maintain the right temperature (1,300º) is fed through the bottom of the oven. H₂O vapor is added to both the feed gas and the O₂. The 2 compartments operate alternatingly. The oven is provided with a device to tap the slag.
