Product:

The Microwave pre-treatment includes technologies that utilise physical processes to induce thermal and non-thermal effects that drive physical, chemical or biological reactions. The technology is usually utilised to break down the structure of lignocellulosic biomass leading to the release of different substances (e.g. fermentable sugar).
