Abstract
A gasification reactor comprising a pressure shell, a reaction zone partly bounded by a vertically oriented tubular membrane wall, a horizontally directed burner having a burner head at which, in use, a combustion flame is discharged into said reaction zone, said burner protruding into the vertical wall part of the membrane wall via a burner muffle, said burner muffle comprising several vertically oriented, concentric and interconnected rings, wherein each successive ring has an increasing diameter relative to the preceding ring resulting in that the burner muffle has a muffle opening for the burner head at one end and a larger opening at its other—flame discharge—end, the rings comprising a conduit having an inlet end for a cooling medium and an outlet for used cooling medium and wherein the muffle opening for the burner head is located between the pressure shell and the membrane wall and wherein the burner muffle protrudes into the reaction zone.
