Iron Ore Mining Operations using microwave technology

Industrial High Power Microwave Systems

Decarbonization and new plasma-based technologies

The global transition toward decarbonization and the emergence of new plasma-based technologies are driving an unprecedented demand for high-power microwave solutions — pushing power requirements from hundreds of kilowatts to several megawatts.

A sustainable alternative to traditional thermal processes

High-power microwave technology offers a proven alternative to conventional thermal processes — delivering precise, controllable and instantaneous energy directly into the material, with no direct combustion or emissions.

Key advantages of microwave technology

Decarbonized solution

Microwaves are fully electric and can use green electricity

Energy efficiency

Microwave heating reaches up to 80% energy efficiency — far above conventional thermal methods

Fast process

Energy penetrates directly into the product — power is absorbed by the material itself, ensuring fast process

Instant start

No warm-up needed. Flexible production with instant start capability

Selective heating

Microwaves allow the heating of the chosen material, depending on the dielectric properties of the product

Controlled heating

No risk of overheating, ensuring homogeneous and consistent heating throughout the material

Reliability

Consistent and repeatable results, every time

Pre-heating & heating

Use microwave as a boost stage — before or after conventional heating — to significantly reduce processing time

Where High-Power Microwave makes the difference

High-power microwave systems find application across a wide range of demanding industrial processes. Here are some examples where SAIREM’s microwave generators deliver proven performance:

Everything You Need to Know: How Microwave Can Be Used in a High Power System.

Yes. Microwave technology offers a proven alternative to conventional thermal processes. Unlike combustion-based systems, microwave generators deliver energy directly and precisely into the material — with no direct emissions. Their high energy efficiency, typically above 80%, makes them one of the most sustainable and cost-effective solutions for energy-intensive industrial processes.

Absolutely. SAIREM offers fully containerized microwave solutions that scale from hundreds of kilowatts to several megawatts. Our plug-and-play containers integrate multiple 915 MHz magnetron generators, operating independently or together, and can be stacked side-by-side to increase total power capacity. Available in 20 or 40 ft configurations, these systems are tailored to your specific environmental conditions and regulatory requirements (CE or UL).

With over 45 years of expertise in microwave engineering, SAIREM accompanies its customers at every stage — from application feasibility and system design to commissioning and after-sales support. Our team of microwave and plasma experts, backed by strong research partnerships and a global presence across Europe, the USA and Asia, ensures you receive the right solution and the right support, wherever your project is located.
