A method, and its associated equipment, for producing synthetic gas by means of an electric arc-activated, non-catalytic burner which utilizes up to three streams of product inputs. A primary spray is heated by an electric arc formed between two electrodes. A second spray is then injected and mixed with the heated primary fluid. The resulting high-temperature, high pressure mixture is combined with a tertiary spray, an oxidant. The end product thereby produced is a synthetic gas, which becomes immediately available for combustion in furnaces, reactors, and other processes in the chemical, petroleum, and metals fabrication industries. The invention overcomes the deficiencies of existing processes. Those processes suffer generally from the same limitations, such as limited conversion efficiency, inability to operate at high pressures, requiring pure oxygen, in the case of combustion systems, or requiring a catalyst, a very expensive and perishable material that is subject to poisoning from trace elements in the fuel. The instant invention provides a more efficient synthetic gas production process having a low capital investment, one which is not dependent on oxygen or a catalyst, and that uses low cost consumables.
