A process for the catalytic partial oxidation of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock
with an oxygen-containing gas, wherein a flow of a feed mixture comprising the
hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and the oxygen-containing gas is contacted with a catalyst
comprising at least one metal selected from Group VIII of the Periodic Table supported
on a catalyst carrier to form a conversion product comprising carbon monoxide and
hydrogen, wherein the catalyst is retained in a fixed arrangement in a reactor
comprising a feed supply chamber which is in fluid communication with the upstream
surface of the fixed arrangement, in which process a part of the conversion product
formed flows back to the feed supply chamber. The invention further relates to
an electrical-energy generating process, an electrical-energy generating system,
and transport means provided with this electrical-energy generating system.
