Principle
Partial oxidation is a technically mature process in which natural gas or a heavy hydrocarbon fuel (heating oil) is mixed with a limited amount of oxygen in an exothermic process.
- General reaction equation (without catalyst, TPOX):
- General reaction equation (with catalyst, CPOX):
- Possible reaction equation (heating oil):
- Possible reaction equation (coal):
The formulas given for coal and heating oil show only a typical representative of these highly complex mixtures. Water is added to the process for getting both the extreme temperatures as well as extra control on the formation of soot.
