Abstract

The present invention relates to a plasma gasification system and a method that converts organic materials into syngas and operates at pressures over 2 atmospheres. The system includes a processing chamber having a material inlet port, a gas inlet port, a molten glass drain port and ports to introduce electrodes. The system also has seals for effectively sealing the electrodes and the ports to the processing chamber in order to avoid expulsion of products through the ports.
