TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
Using our patent-pending catalyst system and microwave acceleration of the synthesis reaction, we make ammonia using modular reactor systems that can be operated on intermittent renewable energy. With microwaves, we synthesize at low pressure and temperature with fast on/off capability. Traditional ammonia synthesis is not compatible with small-scale production.
