Claim Text:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a radiant heat chemical reactor is configured to generate chemical products including synthesis gas products; two or more radiant tubes in the radiant heat chemical reactor configured to separate 1) an exothermic heat source from 2) an endothermic reaction of reactant gas and biomass particles occurring within a cavity of a refractory vessel of the chemical reactor, where the exothermic heat source heats a space inside the radiant tubes and the radiant tubes are located within the refractory vessel; one or more feed lines are configured to supply the biomass particles entrained in the reactant gas to the cavity area between an inner wall of the cavity of the refractory vessel and an outside wall of each of the two or more radiant tubes that are internally heated; one or more natural gas fired burners acting as the exothermic heat source and connect to both ends of the radiant tubes to supply heated gases and flames to the tubes.
