THE PROCESS
The process requires approved materials to be in a shredded state or such materials reduced in size no larger than 3 inch square pieces. The system uses a hopper or includes an entry hopper where customer’s front-end loader or metered conveyor belt feed system to load the process supplies material to the hopper. The entry feed system hopper/elevator feeds the material to a double gate assembly that actuates to move the material to an intermediate position whereby a vacuum line provision removes the oxygen air from the material in-feed chamber of the assembly. The lower gate then actuates to position the material and dumps it directly into the reactor entry of the in-feed auger screw feeding the main reactor. The internal reactor environment is held constant at 508 torr (mm of Hg) (20 inches of Mercury vacuum throughout). Vacuum pressure will lower as gases are produced. The material passes into the microwave reactor chamber and onto the internal conveyor which moves the material at variable speed under each of the microwave units while through two microwave emitters positioned right angle of the continuous motion product and bombarding the material with hydrocarbon-specific microwaves. This microwave bombardment is absorbed into the material and any hydrocarbons contained in the material are gasified while the system vacuum system pump acts to extract the expanding gas from the reactor chamber. The heavier gases will condense and will be piped directly to a liquid storage tank. The lighter gases will remain a burnable gas and be piped to a gas storage tank where they can be utilized to generate electricity with a turbine generator. The remaining residual materials are conveyed out of the reactor chamber through a reverse process similar to the in-feed process whereby the vacuum is released and the char slag particulate is discharged onto a takeaway conveyor.
