1. A system comprising:
a conduit configured to carry heterogeneous materials that is pumped therethrough; a first applicator comprising an end portion, a waveguide, a material entry port, and a material exit port, wherein a terminating member is connected to the first applicator, and wherein the heterogeneous materials are pumped along a longitudinal length of the waveguide into the material entry port of the end portion of the first applicator and out the material exit port while electromagnetic energy is delivered to the first applicator; an electromagnetic generator connected to the first applicator so as to provide the electromagnetic energy to the first applicator while the heterogeneous materials are being conveyed horizontally along a longitudinal axis of the waveguide; a second applicator comprising a beginning portion, an end portion, and a second waveguide, wherein electromagnetic energy is conveyed from the beginning portion through the second waveguide to the end portion; wherein the first applicator further comprises an electromagnetic energy entry port and an electromagnetic energy exit port, wherein the second applicator further comprises an electromagnetic energy entry port and an electromagnetic energy exit port, wherein the first applicator material entry port is located proximate to the first applicator electromagnetic energy entry port, wherein the first applicator material exit port is located proximate to the first applicator electromagnetic energy exit port, wherein the second applicator material entry port is located proximate to the second applicator electromagnetic energy entry port, and wherein the second applicator material exit port is located proximate to the second applicator electromagnetic energy exit port. |
