MEAM was founded over 10 years ago by the electronic engineer specialising in high-power EM energy Carlo Groffils. Since then, MEAM has become an international player with offices in Belgium and the Netherlands and successfully delivered over 350 microwave projects to both large and small enterprises. MEAM's focus lies today on the food industry, as well as industrial microwave processing of wood, glass and plastics, and water and solvent-based paint, coating and drying in technical applications. Depending on the process, it is possible to recover the heat from the cooling water or exhaust air to defrost or preheat the product. Combinations with vacuum chambers are also possible. | |||
MEAM can deliver a variety of systems, with a wide variety of process details ranging from TRL 4 to 9. The specific conditions will depend on the exact product and process requirements. To ensure the optimal conditions, MEAM works together with clients for a technical and economic feasibility study. A parametric study will be performed to ensure the optimal conditions will be used in the final set up. Next to the listed processes, MEAM is continuously innovating and working on expanding the range of solutions. | |||
Once a month a training day is organised by MEAM to teach the foundations of the technology and get hands-on experience. Visit the website for more information on the training day. | |||

The Endeavour Microwave Gasification technology by Endeavour Energia S.r.l. can be used to upgrade waste and biomass feeds, such as rice and wheat husks, woody biomass, sludge from anaerobic digestion and litter from animal farms to electricity, heat, and biochar. According to Endeavour, the technology is characterized by the use of microwave-assisted high temperature gasification (>1400 °C) together with a simplified filtering system in a setup that does not generate waste in need of disposal. | The Endeavour Microwave Gasification technology by Endeavour Energia S.r.l. can be used to upgrade waste and biomass feeds, such as rice and wheat husks, woody biomass, sludge from anaerobic digestion and litter from animal farms to electricity, heat, and biochar.
