Introducing The Envirowave Process
Finding new and innovative processes
to protect our environment.
Protection of valuable water, air, and land resources
is one of the highest priority activities in industrialized countries
on the planet. The Company views its mission in society as developing
and applying innovative, simple, and cost-effective technologies
worldwide to address the recycling of waste streams to environmentally-acceptable
end products.

Envirowave
Energy, LLC completed
of the testing phase for its commercial microwave-based scrap
tire and mixed plastics system on November 16, 2009. The unit
shown is capable of processing 50 to 60 tons of scrap tires or
mixed plastics daily. Other units are capable of processing of
70 to 80 tons per day. |
Envirowave Energy's cost effective and environmentally
acceptable enabling technologies include:
· A
continuous microwave based drying and sterilizing technologies
permit a wide variety of industries to meet US EPA standards
for pathogen destruction in biosolids and agricultural waste
streams.
· A
microwave-based "Destruct" technology providing a viable
and immediate solution to the demands of the EPA for the treatment
and destruction of hazardous waste contamination.
· A
scrap automobile tire recycling system producing carbon black,
steel, hydrocarbon
carbon fuels, including hydrogen, while mitigating one of the
pressing pollution problems of the century.
The concept of utilizing microwaves in commercial
applications was the outgrowth of research conducted in the mid
1990's by John Novak into the use of microwaves in the molecular
destruction of organic compounds. Original research encompassed
the breakdown of rubber, plastics and scrap tires into commercially
marketable constituent products. When Mr. Novak was approached
by a potential customer with the idea of drying paper pulp for
the purposes of volumetric reduction, he quickly realized the
commercial viability of such a process. At the same time as the
paper pulp evaluation was underway, an investigation into the
drying of bio-solids (sludge from waste water facilities) was
launched based upon his earlier studies using shipboard waste
from a major cruise line. Mr. Novak subsequently applied for
and received the patent for the utilization of microwaves in
processing organic materials and for his design of commercial
microwave apparatus.
As an outgrowth of the two general microwave process applications
(drying and molecular destruction) many other types of materials
have been evaluated for processing in the microwave units and
are considered commercially viable processes. Examples of these
materials and processes are the destruction of PCB's and PAH's;
paper mill black liquor reduction; grain drying; shipboard waste
processing; masonry and brick drying; curing of lumber and wood
products; remediation of petroleum contaminated soils; reduction
and recycling of plastics and rubber products and medical waste
disposal. Medical waste & biomedical waste consists of all
waste materials generated at health care facilities including,
hospitals, clinics, offices of physicians, dentists, and vets,
blood banks, home health care facilities and labs.
