Waste Gasification
Solid-state RF generator solutions, particularly those based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology, play a crucial role in the waste gasification market1. They offer a more efficient and reliable alternative to traditional magnetron-based solutions.
For instance, GaN solid-state microwave generators can produce uniform and consistent heating patterns, effectively heating the organic waste. This leads to an increased yield of both hydrogen and biochar, which are valuable byproducts.
From an eco-friendly perspective, these solutions help convert waste into renewable biofuels, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and its associated environmental impact. Moreover, the syngas produced can be used to generate electricity, fuel combustion systems, and produce hydrogen, contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
In comparison, magnetron-based solutions have been found to have reliability and safety issues. They often require high voltage and have a shorter lifespan, leading to frequent system shutdowns. In contrast, solid-state RF generators offer precise digital controllability of the frequency, power, signal source, and phase, enabling more uniform plasma generation and thus higher volumes of waste processing in a shorter amount of time
