In making synthetic town gas from CH₄-containing hydrocarbons by catalytic oxidation in the gaseous phase, undesired amounts of soot often develop if the O₂ content of the used oxidizing gas is above that of the air. To avoid this, the gasification process is conducted in a closed cycle, town gas being admixed to the hydrocarbons entering the process. The reaction is conducted in a contact furnace in a single step with dry and cold, optionally cooled, gaseous hydrocarbons as starting materials. Describes a plant for carrying out the process.
