Reactors based on non-conventional energy input

At InVerTec, reactors and processing units based on non-conventional energy input are developed to address specific thermodynamic and kinetic challenges. When a chemical reaction requires harsh conditions due to kinetic limitations, a microwave plasma torch delivers focused, high-enthalpy energy directly to the reactants. When standard freeze drying is insufficiently gentle or too slow for fragile goods, microwave freeze drying accelerates sublimation without thermal degradation. Furthermore, when rapid heating without the boundary limitations of a physical heat-transfer surface is required, dielectric heating provides direct volumetric energy coupling. Combinations of conventional reactor geometries and non-conventional heating are equally feasible, as demonstrated by our microwave-heated fluidized bed systems engineered for sub-micron particles processing.
The development of such tailor-made systems is always done in close collaboration with InVerTec’s customers.
