METHOD OF PRODUCING SYNTHETIC GAS AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C10J3/46 G05D11/13 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises the following steps: (a) feeding a stream containing carbon and an oxygen-containing stream into a reactor in given ratio O/C, (b) at least partial oxidation of the stream containing carbon in a gasification reactor to form a gaseous stream of a product containing at least synthetic gas, CO₂ and CH₄, (c) determining content of CO₂ in the stream of product obtained at step (b), (d) comparing content of CO₂ determined at step (c) with predetermined content of CO₂ as a result of which the value of the difference between content determined at step (c) and the predetermined content can be obtained, (e) controlling the ratio O/C at step (a) based on the difference value obtained at step (d), where 'O' denotes mass flow of molecular oxygen O₂, which is present in the oxygen-containing stream, and 'C' denotes mass flow of material containing carbon, except any optional carrier gas or water.

EFFECT: high accuracy of controlling quality of the product.
