Constructed in 2014, M3K was the world’s first chemical plant to use microwaves.
The processes employed in this low-energy, high-efficiency, compact chemical plant only require 1/3 the energy, 1/10 the heating time, and 1/5 the footprint compared to conventional method. This plant proved that microwave process could be used in a large-scale commercial setting compliant to regulatory requirements.
