Traditional microwave technology generates non-uniform heating; Chemco's patented pasteurization process enables the performance and economic benefits of microwaves to be translated to municipal and industrial applications by uniformly heating with high efficiency continuous processes.

Planar heating systems uniformly expose planar material to microwave energy; cylindrical heating systems uniformly expose material flowing through a pipe to microwave energy.

Chemco's patented pasteurization Chem-Wave process provides customers with many benefits:

• Uniformity: Chemco's systems heat and pasteurize uniformly throughout the biosolids being processed.
• Speed: Chemco's systems generate higher power densities than conventional systems, allowing heating, drying, and processing to be accomplished faster, thereby increasing sludge processing speeds and reducing operating costs.
• Efficiency: Chemco's systems are at least 50% more efficient in converting power to heat than other heating alternatives. Our patented applicator is 85-90% efficient in energy use.
• Volumetric heating: Chemco's systems heat volumetrically inside to outside, thereby allowing uniform temperature control.
• Focused and controlled: Chemco's systems can be precisely focused and controlled as well as turned on and off instantly:

  • Uniform temperature control to ± 1° C.
  • Real time documentation and verification.
  • Meets 503 rules

• Quality: Chemco's systems do not require contact with the material being processed, thereby:

  • Eliminating the need for cool-down and warm-up periods
  • Permitting exact control over temperature, moisture, and odor parameters
  • Generating more uniform moisture profiles, which, in many applications, enhances product quality
  • Characteristically produces potting soil texture and spreadability

• Chem-Wave systems are more compact than other systems, requiring smaller equipment footprint, lower installed capital costs and lower operating costs.
