TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The purge gas is nitrogen or argon. The process is carried out at a temperature of below 680 degrees F with a microwave energy of less than 600 kW, a weight percent ratio of 1-2C hydrocarbon gases to 3-4C hydrocarbon gases of 1, a weight percent of n-butane of less than or equal to 2 wt.% and a liquid hydrocarbon content having characteristics of a diesel fuel. A residence time within the microwave applicator is 285 milliseconds. A temperature within the microwave applicator is 680 degrees F. The infeed and outfeed feed systems are sliding shutter assemblies, which comprise three sliding shutter assemblies. The process of purging the infeed and outfeed shutters, which comprise a top, a middle and a bottom shutter, comprises initially applying five volumes of purge gas through all of the shutters venting the purge gas to atmosphere, opening a top slide of a top shutter to receive material with a bottom slide of the uppermost shutter closed, closing the top slide of the uppermost shutter and purging the uppermost shutter with five volumes of purging gas, opening the bottom slide of the uppermost shutter and a top slide of the middle shutter positioned below the top shutter allowing the material to drop from the top shutter into the middle shutter, closing the bottom slide of the top shutter and the top slide of the middle shutter and purging the middle shutter with five volumes of purging gas, opening a bottom slide of the middle shutter and a top slide of the bottom shutter positioned below the middle shutter allowing the material to drop from the middle shutter into the bottom shutter, closing the bottom slide of the middle shutter and a top slide of the bottom shutter and purging the bottom shutter with five volumes of purging gas, and opening a bottom slide of the bottom shutter and dropping the material onto a closed mesh transporting unit. The material is grinded after existing the outfeed system. The step of feeding the collected gaseous byproduct constituents into the gas turbine further comprises simultaneously providing electricity to both a microwave generator (10) and to the external electrical grid.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The gas composition comprises 16 wt.% of methane, 32 wt.% of ethane, 7.5 wt.% of propane, 1 wt.% of i-butane, 32 wt.% of n-butane, and a balance of nitrogen, where a weight percent of methane and ethane is greater than or equal to 75%.
