A burner nozzle assembly for the production of synthesis gas in a synthesis gas generation chamber has a cooling water jacket face that is protected from hot gas corrosion by an annular shield fabricated from a high melting point material. The heat shield is affixed to the cooling water jacket face by means of a threaded retaining member that engages in one of the surfaces an aligned channel having correspondingly mating threads.
