Production of syngas by reaction of wood with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water was studied in plasma reactor with dc arc plasma torch stabilized by combination of water vortex and argon flow. Wood saw dust and wooden pellets were supplied into plasma flow inside the reactor. Oxygen and carbon dioxide were added to the reactor, water was from wood humidity, additional oxygen was supplied by steam plasma. Syngas with high concentrations of hydrogen and carbon monoxide was produced. In the experiments we tested effect of material mass flow rate, particle size and flow rates of added oxidizing media on properties of produced syngas.
