(1) Solid state (GaN) Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP) with granular digital control of microwave frequency, amplitude and phase for running a 'sewage' (or any Carbon based feedstock) program that is 'AI tweaked' in real-time based on sensor feedback for energy efficiency of dielectric heating of the feedstock inside the pyrolysis reactor during pyrolysis. The program 'remembers' the tweaks and improves efficiency of the program for every subsequent continuous/batch run of the same feedstock.
Learning Issue: What is the most appropriate sensor/sensor array to measure the efficiency of dielectric heating of the feedstock during pyrolysis? eg. reactor temperature, flue gas composition, Electrical Conductivity or Electrical Resistance etc.
