The upward flow rate of the hydrocarbon/oxygen containing gas stream is sufficient to fluidise or to produce a spouting action of the bed material? whereby the particulate material is thrown up above the bed surface and subsequently falls back into the bed. The hydrocarbon and oxygen containing gas are ignited and reacted together and the, products of the reaction withdrawn.
