Claims19
An improved process for reducing an organic-containing solid material into lower molecular gaseous hydrocarbons, liquid hydrocarbons and solid carbon constituents utilizing a microwave oven system, the improvement comprising:
- a) utilizing a ring vacuum pump to remove gasses from the microwave oven system;
- b) positioning at least two sources of microwaves in parallel alignment in a ceiling of the system, each source which feeds bifurcated waves into a leaky wave guide diffuser;
- and
- c) utilizing a replaceable solid medium forced air dry system to remove impurities in the solid material.
