DEPOLYMERIZATION<br />

What is a depolymerization<br />

system?<br />

Deploymerization directly applies high-energy<br />

microwaves to healthcare waste in a natural<br />

gas atmosphere to break down the organic<br />

material. Unlike other microwave systems that<br />

heat the waste to nearly 100°C, this system<br />

operates at temperatures high enough to cause<br />

chemical changes.<br />

How does a dry heating system work?<br />
