On board naval installation, UK
EWI's naval food waste sterilizer was
designed to NATO standards to meet the requirements of a
naval research project by providing a fully
functioning microwave food sterilization and
dehydration system. EWI's use of the latest in 3D modeling
allowed the design team to perfect the design
prior to cutting metal, or
purchasing electronics.
The customer was very impressed with the
rapid turn around from concept to production
and has been very pleased with the system's
operation since delivery.

The basic process is to heat
waste by dispersing the energy evenly throughout its
mass. This is one of the basic
advantages of heating with microwaves. Once the microwaves have
started their work, the next step is to
remove the moisture.
The water in the food quickly evaporates
allowing the remaining
material to heat very quickly. What
remains is dehydrated and contains no
bacterial activity resulting in long storage
time without the production of any fermentation
products or gases.
