Think of the Recyclotron as a combination of a vacuum cooker and an industrial microwave, specifically designed for efficient feedstock conversion. Shredded manufacturing feedstock is fed into a sealed, oxygen-free container and heated very quickly and precisely using high-powered microwaves. Intense heating without oxygen prevents any burning, causing complex materials to rapidly break apart into their simplest molecular components. This process — Microwave Catalytic Reforming — efficiently turns mixed feedstock into valuable outputs like hydrogen gas, carbon, and industrial chemicals.

Shredded manufacturing feedstock combined with a specialized catalyst is introduced into an anoxic (oxygen-free) vessel. 915 MHz microwave energy raises the catalyst temperature to 650°C+, initiating flash reformation (thermal decomposition without oxygen) and steam gasification. These processes break down complex organic polymers into raw syngas and valuable solid char.

The 915 MHz electromagnetic field induces rapid molecular oscillation in polar molecules and efficiently heats admixed catalytic materials due to their high dielectric loss tangent (tan δ). The ultimate product distribution is governed by Gibbs free energy minimization at the specified operating temperature and pressure, optimizing product yields.

Accurate reactor modeling requires multiphysics simulation. The electromagnetic field distribution within the cylindrical cavity is governed by Maxwell's equations, solved for the specific reactor geometry and the complex, time-varying dielectric properties of the heterogeneous feedstock.

Carbotura operates 12 pilot-scale Recyclotron systems in an overseas laboratory for continuous validation. This data is fed back into the digital twin, achieving 90–95% predictive accuracy for product yields and energy consumption at commercial scale.

The APS acts like a powerful kitchen hood vent, but for the entire facility. It constantly pulls air into a network of ducts from every area where dust or gas could potentially be released. Unlike traditional methods that treat escaped vapors as a loss, Carbotura sees them as lost resources. The APS captures these vapors, cleans them thoroughly, and transforms them into additional synthetic graphite — turning a potential liability into a profit center.

For a 400 TPD facility, the APS is designed to capture approximately 1,200 metric tons of fugitive organic compounds per year. Instead of venting these as a permitted emission, they are re-processed through an electromagnetic cracker and converted into additional Pristine Carbon — turning a potential environmental liability into a significant revenue stream valued at $7.7M annually at $7,500/ton synthetic graphite.

The APS maintains a constant negative pressure differential of -0.2 bar throughout the entire facility, handling a volumetric flow rate of 60,000 m³/hr. This high capacity ensures comprehensive capture across the facility. Recovered hydrocarbons are routed back to the main process, producing an additional 2.8 metric tons per day of synthetic graphite.

Imagine feedstock as raw dough. RevCon 0 is that messy beginning. As it moves through each RevCon level, the material becomes more refined — like dough becoming bread, then a sandwich, and finally a gourmet meal. Each step makes it more useful and valuable. Water yields fall from 60 TPD at RevCon 1 to 1 TPD at RevCon 5, yet revenue climbs from $1.1M/year to $36.5M/year.
