Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for generating synthetic gas, comprising a POX reactor with a first reaction chamber, into which a carbon-containing gaseous feedstock, as well as an oxidizing agent, can be introduced via a feeding system, and a discharge system, whereby a gasification product can be withdrawn from the reaction chamber. The apparatus further contains at least one further, i.e., a second, reaction chamber with a second feeding system, which is connected to the first reaction chamber via the discharge system.

Abstract: A process and device for the material utilization of soot from the waste water of a gasification appliance (heavy oil POX) in which a hydrogen- and carbon monoxide-containing (crude synthesis gas) is generated from relatively high-boiling hydrocarbons by partial oxidation, is disclosed. The soot-loaded waste water from the heavy oil POX is mixed with naphtha and is subsequently introduced into a separator (decanter) from which a substantially soot-free water fraction and a substantially water-free naphtha/soot mixture are taken off separately, where the naphtha/soot mixture is fed as feed to a further gasification appliance (naphtha POX), in which appliance predominantly naphtha is converted into a crude synthesis gas by partial oxidation.
