Microwave extraction technology enables to process difficult matrices

In this case study, you can read how ACEA (acronym for Municipal Energy and Environment Company) gained advantages in terms of time-saving, application capabilities, maintenance costs and productivity on any kind of matrix, when adopting Milestone’s microwave technology instead of conventional extraction techniques

Customer

ACEA is an Italian multiservice company active in the management and development of networks in the water, energy and environmental sector. Its activities are mainly concentrated in Italy but they are also present in some Latin American countries including Colombia, Honduras, Peru and the Dominican Republic.

Challenge

The main reason why they decided to switch to microwave assisted extraction technique was the need to reduce time per analysis and to process some of the most difficult and polluted matrices avoiding high maintenance costs and tedious cleaning steps.

Solution

With the ETHOS X implementation, ACEA could process a full suite of matrices,even those with high plastic content that could not be processed with PLE. This allowed ACEA to expand its department’s application range and increase its productivity.
