What Is Plasma Gasification?

Plasma gasification is an extreme thermal process using plasma converting organic matter into a syngas which is primarily made up of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. A plasma torch powered by an electric arc is used to ionize gas and catalyse organic matter into syngas, with slag remaining as a by-product.

In the PAG process an electrical arc gasifier passes a very high voltage electrical current through two electrodes, creating an arc between them. Inert gas, which is under high pressure, then passes through the electrical arc into a sealed container (called a plasma converter) of waste material

Gasification is a process that converts organic- or fossil fuel-based carbonaceous materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This is achieved by reacting the material at high temperatures (>700" />
