ABSTRACT:
In a process of gasifying solid fuel such as coal comprising the steps of contacting the solid fuel under a pressure of at least about 5 bars in a reaction chamber surrounded by a water-cooled zone, the reaction heat evaporating water in said zone, transferring the water vapor from said zone to the reaction chamber, removing product gas from the reaction chamber, scrubbing and cooling said product gas in a scrubber-cooler, and periodically interrupting normal gasification, the improvement which comprises discontinuing the transfer of water vapor to the reaction chamber during such periods of other than normal gasification and instead transferring the water vapor to said scrubber-cooler, whereby generation of product gas will be discontinued during such periods. Hot steam may be supplied to the water-cooled zone during said periods of interruption to delay a drop in the temperature of the fuel in the reactor chamber so that upon resumption of normal operation the initially produced gas wll be of substantially normal composition.
