Microwave Gasification
• Highly Efficient Disassociation
• Supports Creative System Engineering
• Not In Wide Spread Practice
Dynamic conversion
uses microwaves to
gasify tires, biomass
and plastics. The
facility produces oils
and diesel as well as
activated carbon and
recycled steel.

Technology Description
• Microwaves gasify feedstock
& feedstock blends
• Low pressure and low
temperature differentiate this
gasification technique
• Nitrogen atmosphere avoids
oxygen contamination &
problems
• Not combustion – no ash
created
• Continuous process is
efficient – not batch
• Closed loop – no emissions

Sustainability
• Situational Awareness is understanding the “truth on the ground” and comparing a transition to sustainability using appropriate metrics
• Efficiency is measured both technically and economically using analytical methods that address the full scope of the application
• Resource Stewardship is a set of objectives which place a future value on resources and the preservation of options for future use of those resources – thus an imperative of avoiding waste
• Protection Of People & Environment is a requirement for any sustainable action and it depends upon a comprehensive risk analysis and the strict avoidance of the pretense of knowledge
• Innovation & Contribution To Knowledge Base assigns a value to applying technical and process advances which realize improvements to the status quo and the documentation & sharing of lessons learned which is essential to the preservation of sustainability
David Haberman is a systems engineer with 32+ years of experience. His
background includes aerospace and energy systems design, development,
project management and organizational leadership. He founded and led DCH
Technology (AMEX:DCHT). He was an integral part of the U.S. Department of
Energy – National Energy Technology Laboratory team which developed and
operated the hydro-gasification system which produced synthetic natural gas
from coal. He has extensive experience in the field of carbon recycling using
algae to produce fuels. He has served as a technical reviewer and analyst for
industry, government and legal authorities regarding operational feasibility, risk
assessment and establishing valuations for technology driven enterprises. He
has a track record of success in commercialization of hydrogen energy & safety
equipment. He is actively engaged in sustainability and public policy initiatives.
