1. Chemical reactions

The Shell Gasification Process (SGP) is a partial oxidation process that converts a hydrocarbon feedstock into synthesis gas (CO + H ₂ ), according to the following general scheme:

This transformation is the result of a large number of reactions, the main ones of which are described below.

• Complete combustion of part of the hydrocarbon charge leads to the formation of CO ₂ and H ₂ ...
