Slide 10 Microwave timeline
Slide 11 Selective heating
Slide 12 Established microwave / RF applications Pipe Welding Hardening Baking of crustless bread Textile Drying Rubber vulcanising Bacon cooking Butter Tempering
Slide 13 Numerous benefits of using microwave technology in mining and mineral applications Signed development agreement on ‘Mine of the Future’ Program with mining giant Rio Tinto Providing microwave power solutions for enhanced mineral recovery programmes. The machinery uses large-scale microwave and radio frequency generators and is expected to set a new world standard in mineral recovery. Now investigating numerous other applications for microwave technology in mineral and mining fields. Emerging applications - Mineral processing
Slide 14 Collaboration Research partners World leading science in the interaction of microwaves with materials. University-based or private research organisations High power microwave generation, transmission and industrialisation of microwave applications The mining, chemical, food and material processing industries Industry-specific engineering contractor, system integrator or OEM End-user applications
Slide 15 Capabilities Understanding the product – Dielectric measurement, micro-CT, water activity Modelling is used to improve performance (efficiency and reliability) of existing magnetrons as well as designing new magnetrons Modelling is used to ensure that the generator has sufficient cooling (magnetron, circulator etc.) Full multiphysics modelling is used to optimise electric field and to understand the behaviour of the product under microwave energy
Slide 16 Established technology High stored energy can damage magnetron Not compliant with utility regulations above 100kW Unsuitable for rugged large scale processing Generator technology Developed from the ground-up by e2v Fully compliant with utility regulations at any scale Based on proven motor drive technology Manufacturable at scale, global support Patented designs and techniques
Slide 17 Generator roadmap Developed from the ground-up by e2v Fully compliant with utility regulations at any scale Based on proven motor drive technology Manufacturable at scale, global support Patented designs and techniques G1100 Series G2100 Series G2100 Multi-head platform
Slide 18 Multi head platform Common interface and software to operate all heads and control independently Compact footprint and weight Modular and scalable Common services e.g. chiller Built in redundancy by adding additional ‘standby’ heads Fewer parts and less duplication improves maintainability and serviceability Online measurement and consistent delivery of RF power, irrespective of time, temp etc.
