PROCESS FOR PARTIAL OXIDATION OF
A HYDROCARBON-CONTAINING FUEL

Process for the partial oxidation of fuel using a multi-orifice burner comprising a central channel and three concentric channels encircling the central channel. Fuel is supplied through the second concentric channel at a specific velocity: oxygen is supplied through the other channels at specific mass flow distribution and velocities.

P~)CESS FOR PAR~rIAL 07~:DATION OF
A HYDROCARBON~NTAINI~'~G Ft~

The invention relates to a process for partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon-containing fuel using a multi-orifice burner.
In particular, the invention relates to a process for partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon-containing fuel wherein an oxygen-con-taining gas and a hydrocarbon-containing fuel are supplied to a gasification zone through a quadruple orifice burner comprising a concentric arrangement of 3 oxygen-passages or channels and l fuel passage or channel, and wherein autothermically a gaseous stream containing synthesis gas is produced under appropriate conditions.
The oxygen-con~aining gas is usually air or pure oxygen or a mixture thereof. In order to control the temperature in the gasifi-~ cation zone a moderator gas can be supplied to said zone.
;; In particular, the invention relates to a process as described in the foregoing, wherein a liquid is suitable as a fuel.
More in particular, (heavy~ residue feedstock is suitable to be used as a fuel.
In such processes it is necessary to ensure fine atomization of ~he fuel and good and rapid contacting or mixing of the fuel and the oxygen-containing gas in order to obtain an excellent gasi-fication process.
It is an object of the invention to provide a process forpartial oxidation of a hydrocarbon-containing fuel wherein in situ fine atomization of the fuel is obtained. It is another object of the invention to provide a process for partial oxidation of a hydrocarbon-containing fuel wherein a good and rapid mLxing or contacting of oxygen and fuel is obtained and pre-ignition or flame-flash-back is prevented.
It is another object of the invention to provide a process for (heavy) residue gasification wherein economic process conditions , ' :~, '` ' - ' ' .~ ' :

(for example reduction of supply moderator gas and reduction of soot production) are achieved with a sufficiently long burner-lifetime (lon~er than 8000 operating hours).
The invention therefore provides a process for partial oxida-tion of a hydrocarbon-containing fuel characterized by the steps of supplying an oxygen-containing gas and hydrocarbon-containing fuel to a gasification zone through a concentric burner-arrangement of 3 oxygen passages or channels and 1 fuel passage or channel, and producing auto-thermically a gaseous stream containing synthesis gas under appropriate conditions, and further cc~prising the steps of supplying the oxygen-containing gas through the central channel of the concentric arrangement at a relatively low velocity of 21-42 mlsec; supplying oxygen-containing gas through the first concentric channel encircling the central channel at a relatively high veloci-ty of 60-120 m/sec; supplying fuel through the second concentric channel encircling the first channel at a relatively low velocity of 3.0-3.8 m/sec; and supplying oxygen-containing gas through the third concentric channel encircling the second channel at a relati-vely hign velocity of 60-120 m/sec.
In an advantageous embodi~ent of the invention 5 to 40 mass per cent of the oxygen-containing gas is supplied through the said central channel.
In another advantageous emkodiment of the invention the respective velocities are measured at the outlet of the said respective concentric channels into the gasification zone. The velocity measurement can be carried out in any way suitable for the purpose and will not be described in detail.
In still another advantageous e~bodiment of the invention the oxygen-containing gas contains steam or carbon dioxide as a modera-tor. In still another advantageous ~mbodiment of the invention thegasification process is carried out at a pressure of 0.1-12 MPa.
The fuel and the oxygen-containing gas are supplied to the gasification zone through a concentric burner-arrangement of 3 oxygen passages and 1 fuel passage. A central channel for oxygen supply is surrounded by a first annular channel for oxygen supply.

The said first annular channel is surrounded by a second annular channe] for fuel supply and the said second channel is surrounded by a third annular channel for oxygen supply.
Multi-orifice burners ccmprising arrangements of annular concentric channels for supplying oxygen and fuel to gasification - zones are known as such and will not be described in detail.
According to the invention the oxygen and the fuel are sup-plied to the gasification zone through the respective channels at specific velocities in order to obtain a good atomization and mixing.
The invention will now b~ described in re ~etail by referen-- ce to the following example.

unconvertel carbon-containing producks ca 0.3~4~ by weight on Euel, may be added to the feedstock.
In an advantageous embodiment of the invention the burner-lifetime can be increased by supplying an inert gas (a gas w~ich does not react exothermically) such as H20, C02, CH4 and the like through a fourth concentric annular channel surrounding the third channel. In this nEu~ner flame-lifting can occ~r and the heat flux can decrease.
Various modifications of the present in~ention will beccme apparent to those skilled in the art frcm the foregoing descrip-tion. Such modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
