A vessel system (10) comprises an outer shell (14) of carbon fibers held in a binder, a coolant circulation mechanism (16) and control mechanism (42) and an inner shell (46) comprised of a refractory material and is of light weight and capable of withstanding the extreme temperature and pressure environment of, for example, a coal gasification process. The control mechanism (42) can be computer controlled and can be used to monitor and modulate the coolant which is provided through the circulation mechanism (16) for cooling and protecting the carbon fiber and outer shell (14). The control mechanism (42) is also used to locate any isolated hot spots which may occur through the local disintegration of the inner refractory shell (46).

A vessel system capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures comprising a plurality of shells: one of said plurality of shells constituting a closed, pressure containing outer shell comprised of carbon fiber held in a resin binder; means for cooling said outer shell which includes at least one separate cooling element disposed inside of and separate from said outer shell for circulating coolant; and another of said plurality of shells constituting an inner shell disposed radially within and separate from said cooling means, said inner shell being of refractory material to withstand high temperature and being in free and open pressure communication with all of said outer shell.
