Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the preparation of a combustible gaseous mixture or product gas from a nongaseous fuel in which a gasifier is used provided with a rotatably driven cup-shaped support grate 3. A granular or pulverized refractory auxiliary material and fuel are continuously fed to the inner side of said grate, a gasification medium or process gas being fed to the outer side of the grate, whereupon the resulting product gas and the exhausted auxiliary material with ash from the fuel, are discharged separately. According to the invention the fuel consists, at least partly, of a residual oil previously fed into the fuel chamber 14, 15.

Abstract: A device for the separation of particles from a stream of gas by centrifugal action, comprising a driven rotatable hollow conically diverging body 1,2 and a feeding apparatus for directing the contaminated gas stream toward the inside wall of said body in the region of its narrowest portion so that the particles will be deposited against said wall and will gradually move toward the widest portion of said conical body; the stream of gas being controlled such that within the body a toroidal eddy forms for the recirculation of the contaminated gas stream.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an installation for preparing a combustible gas mixture from solid or liquid fuels by means of a rotatable cup-shaped, perforated bowl forming a supporting grate with a fuel supply to its inner wall and a feed of gasifying fluid to the outer side of the grate, an intermediate layer of a refractory material being formed against the inner wall of the rotating grate for supporting the fuel and finally dividing the gasifying fluid.
