Industrial scale and modular microwave applicator

What is it about?

A microwave design at 2.45 GHz for an industrial scale applicator of a continuous microwave assisted PET recycling has been developed. The cavity is designed for use in combination with an Archimedean screw pump to transport the reaction material. The proposed design is modular and can be easily expanded for the heating of longer reactor tubes. The achieved design provides high energy efficiency with a reflected power of less than 10%. It is robust against changes in the permittivity of the reactants.
