Waste treatment and disposal system

28) An apparatus for homogenizing a waste stream having a liquid portion and a solid portion, said apparatus comprising:

• a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port;
• a central shaft disposed within said housing;
• a means for rotating said central shaft;
• and at least one homogenizer stage operatively connected to said central shaft;
• said homogenizer stage comprising a rotating blade having a top edge and a bottom edge, said bottom edge of said rotating blade having a cutting surface, and a sizing screen having a top side, a bottom side, and a plurality of sizing holes permitting travel of the waste stream from said top side to said bottom side of said sizing screen, said top side of said sizing screen in contact with said cutting surface of said bottom edge of said rotating blade.

42) A method of treating and disposing of a waste stream having a liquid portion and a solid portion comprising the steps of:

• storing said waste stream in a tank, said/tank comprising a discharge conduit for removing said waste from said tank;
• providing a means for homogenizing said waste in fluid communication with said discharge conduit, said means for homogenizing comprising a means for reducing the particle size of said solid portion of said waste and a means for mixing said liquid portion of said waste and said solid portion of said waste into a substantially homogenous waste stream, said means for reducing the particle size of said solid portion and said means for mixing said liquid portion and said solid portion occurring substantially simultaneously;
• heating said substantially homogenized waste stream generated by said means for homogenizing;
• and injecting said heated substantially homogenized waste stream into an exhaust stream of an exhaust generating source.

49) An apparatus for homogenizing a waste stream having a liquid portion and a solid portion, said apparatus comprising:

• a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port;
• a central shaft disposed within said housing;
• a means for rotating said central shaft;
• and at least one homogenizer stage operatively connected to said central shaft, said at least one homogenizer stage comprising a stacked rotating blade assembly, said stacked rotating blade assembly comprising a plurality of stacked rotating blades having an uppermost stacked rotating blade and a bottommost stacked rotating blade, each one of said plurality of stacked rotating blades comprising at least one cutting appendage;
• and a sizing screen having a top side, a bottom side, and a plurality of sizing holes permitting travel of the waste stream from said top side to said bottom side of said sizing screen, said top side of said sizing screen in contact with said at least one cutting appendage of said bottommost stacked rotating blade.
