A portable, sustainable, and efficient system and apparatus for breaking down processed solid plastic waste and other polymer-based feedstock into fuel oil, sustainable energy, carbon char, and other useful products. With minor modifications, biomass can also be treated. Distributed microwave heating sources and mechanical mixing effectively mix heat in a highly insulated reactor that protects the microwave components, makes fast pyrolysis possible, and thereby enables scaling down to compact and highly portable systems. Products include diesel, gasoline, propane, butane, and char. Product materials are distributed using tight temperature control and mechanical routing. 一种用于将处理过的固体塑料废料和其他基于聚合物的原料分解成燃油、可持续能源、碳焦和其他有用产物的便携式、可持续和高效的系统和设备。稍作修改，也可以处理生物质。分布式微波加热源和机械混合在高度绝缘的反应器中有效地混合热量，该反应器保护微波部件、使快速热解成为可能，从而可以缩小为紧凑且高度便携的系统。产物包括柴油、汽油、丙烷、丁烷和焦。使用严格的温度控制和机械工艺路线来分配产物物料。
