Patent ID: 7368482

Claim:
A process for the catalytic partial oxidation of liquid fuels, selected from low quality gas oils with a high content of aromatics and sulphur, together with gaseous fuels, selected from refinery gases, natural gas, and/or LPG, by means of a suitable catalytic system comprising the following steps: premixing and optionally heating to temperatures ranging from 25 to 400° C. the reagents consisting of said liquid hydrocarbons, said gaseous hydrocarbons and oxygen or air or oxygen enriched air, optionally in the presence of vapour and/or CO 2 ; reacting the mixture of reagents in the catalytic zone, at inlet temperatures ranging from 50 to 500° C. and space velocities ranging from 1000 to 1,000,000 Nl reagents/L cat×h, reaching temperatures at the outlet of the catalytic bed ranging from 450 to 1350° C.
