A method for obtaining sweet gas, synthetic gas, and sulphur from natural gas. The method includes the steps of removing impurities from the natural gas for obtaining pre-treated natural gas; sweetening the pre-treated natural gas through a separation using a plurality of membranes for obtaining sweet gas and acid gases; ionizing the acid gases to dissociate them into sulphur and synthetic gas with remnants of acid gases; and neutralizing the synthetic gas with remnants of acid gases for generating sweet gas. Likewise, a system is presented on how to implement the method. Un método para obtener gas dulce, gas sintético y azufre a partir de gas natural, el método incluye los pasos de eliminar impurezas del gas natural para obtener gas natural pretratado; endulzar el gas natural pretratado por medio de una separación utilizando una pluralidad de membranas para obtener gas dulce y gases ácidos; ionizar los gases ácidos para disociarlos en azufre y gas sintético con remanentes de gases ácidos; y neutralizar el gas sintético con remanentes de gases ácidos para generar gas sintético. Asimismo, se presenta un sistema para llevar a cabo el método.
