Innterconecta 2016: Microwaste Project Achievement

The project called MICROWASTE ("Experimental development of production of high added value bioproducts and second generation biofuels using thermochemical microwave technology applied to sludge") is based on experimental development focused on the production of bioproducts of high added value, from the urban solid waste (USW) destined for dump, recovering the material and energy of these, by thermochemical microwave technology.

As a synthesis of the results obtained, it can be highlighted that the resultant project has allowed the experimental development of pyrolysis technology assisted by microwaves for the treatment of the Urban Solid Waste and Sludge from Wastewater Treatment Plants to obtain second-generation bioproducts and biofuels generation.
