BFT has achieved the break-through in using special microwaves as the source of energy in the important dry reaction phase of the material.
With this approach not only have all previous difficulties of plant development been overcome, but also additional improvements have been achieved.  No carrier-oils or pump systems susceptible to failure are used in the dry microfuel process.

The actual process is preceded by a pretreatment, which is heavily dependent on the chosen material. The input material is shredded, and then mixed with a catalyst on a zeolite basis and other additives. It is then pelletized.
The pellets produced in the pre-treatment are then inserted in the high frequency molecule disintegrator (HFDMI) and heated step by step and treated with microwaves. The initial high vapor pressure generates inside the pellets facilitates an additional hydration of the material, until the pellets burst due to the high pressure. The remaining water pressure then leaves the microwave disintegration chamber.
After further heating up to 350°C the activity of the catalyst in conjunction with the pulsed microwaves begins. The long hydrocarbon chains inside the material are cracked for the most part into chains of a molecular length of C16-C24, which are leaving the system as oil vapor.

The remaining residue consists mostly of carbon and may– dependent on the input material – constitute a valuable commodity itself.
The produced condensed oil can be transformed into oil products conforming to fuel norms using centrifuge-filters, distillation and blending with additives, if desired.
If necessary for certain input materials, a highly efficient desulphuring technology well suited for this size of facility can be applied.
Most of the facility consists of standard machines and components. Only the core unit, the  molecule disintegrator has been developed by BFT specifically for this application.

BFT has entered several patent applications in course of the development of the microfuel™ system.
