Abstract
A method of processing a material comprising: receiving an input material to be processed within a reaction chamber, the input material comprising a biosolids material; energizing one or more sets of electrodes, each set of electrodes including an anode electrode and a cathode electrode, each anode electrode and cathode electrode having an electrode tip exposed to the reaction chamber; and creating an electrical arc between the anode electrode tip and the cathode electrode tip within the reaction chamber to subject at least some of the input material to electrical arcing, thereby reacting at least a portion of the biosolids material and forming a processed material comprising hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
