Advantages of PlaWave
The new technology utilizing microwaves, PlaWave®,
achieves high-efficiency chemical recycling.
What is PlaWave®?
PlaWave® is a technology platform for chemical recycling that utilizes microwaves.
It is applicable not only to pyrolysis but also to solvolysis and enables accelerated reactions, energy efficiency, and compact equipment design. The logo symbolizes the state of microwaves interacting with plastic molecules and represents the commitment to achieving an environmentally friendly circular economy through a gradient of green colors.
What is microwave?
Microwave is a type of electromagnetic wave that directly transmits energy to a target.
In conventional heating processes, energy is supplied from the outside through heat transfer utilizing temperature differences. On the other hand, microwave processes have the characteristic of selectively delivering energy to the desired object from the inside.
The advantages of PlaWave
High Selectivity
By selecting a decomposition process tailored to the target decomposition products, we can improve purity and achieve high yields.
High Efficiency
By directly and rapidly transferring energy to the target material, we can achieve chemical recycling with less energy consumption.
Space Saving
Combining high-speed processing using microwaves with compact utility facilities allows for space-saving.
Whether it is naphtha (oil) or monomer (gas), PlaWave can produce them as needed.
The direct and selective energy transfer capability of the microwave process allows for flexible and rapid control of the transmitted energy, enabling the differentiation of end products.
