1. A system to produce syngas from a feed material comprising:
a volatization zone into which the feed material is added and syngas is brought into contact with the feed material to produce a volatized gas;
a reaction area downstream of the volatization zone to receive the volatized gas, the reaction area including a combustion nozzle configured to be coupled to a source of fuel and to a source of oxygen and to receive and combust fuel and oxygen, the reaction area being configured to react steam and volatized gas when mixed with combusted fuel and oxygen from the combustion nozzle to produce syngas; and
a heat exchanger positioned downstream of the reaction area and configured to remove heat from the syngas,
wherein the heat exchanger is coiled around the reaction area.
