Abstract

This paper discusses a new design and implementation of a microwave heating for continuous biomass carbonization system. The heating system employs multi feed microwave generators with a maximum power of 10 kW and 2.45 GHz frequency. This new technique is developed to control electromagnetic field distribution inside the microwave heating cavity reactor of biomass carbonization. A chaotic mode pattern microwave generator is used for the technique. The result shows that the technique gives the cost and time-saving, easy to control, and effective performance.
