Abstract
A process and apparatus for heating a flowable product. The flowable product is introduced into a vessel or chamber and then heated by use of microwaves. The microwaves are generated by a microwave transmitter and introduced into the vessel at or near a bottom of the vessel via a waveguide. The introduction of microwaves near or at the bottom of the vessel allows mixing of the flowable product as the flowable product is heated.
