摘要

METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SYNTHESIS GAS AND OF OPERATING A FIXED BED DRY BOTTOM GASIFIER A method (10) for the production of synthesis gas includes humidifying an oxygen-containing stream (40) by contacting the oxygen-containing stream {40) with a hot aqueous liquid (58) to produce a humidified oxygen-containing stream (42), and feeding the humidified oxygen-containing stream (42) into a gasifier (20) in which a carbonaceous material (44) is being gasified, thereby to produce synthesis gas.
