Abstract
Systems and processes for extracting liquids and solids from waste include separately extracting liquids via spaced plates and solid waste out an exit pert with an operably counter pressured pressure cone. The system and process use a cylinder for accepting waste and a piston for providing pressure and pushing waste through the cylinder. Spaced plates with internal apertures are aligned with the cylinder, and pressure from the piston on waste in the apertures forces liquids to pass between the spaced plates. Solid waste egresses via an exit port aligned with the apertures when pressure on a pressure cone operably connected with the exit port exceeds the force keeping the pressure cone dosed on the exit port.
Claims13
A system for extracting and separating liquids and solids from waste that contains liquids and solids comprising:
- a cylinder for accepting waste;
- a piston for providing pressure and pushing waste in the cylinder;
- spaced plates with apertures aligned with the cylinder, wherein pressure from the piston on waste in the apertures forces liquids to pass between the spaced plates;
- an exit port aligned with the apertures;
- and
- a pressure cone operably connected with the exit port, wherein pressure from the piston on waste in the cylinder and in the apertures overcomes force of the pressure cone to allow solids to egress out the exit port past the pressure cone.
A system for extracting and separating liquids and solids from waste that contains liquids and solids comprising:
- a cylinder for accepting waste;
- a piston for providing pressure and pushing waste in the cylinder, wherein a plunger of the piston reciprocates within the cylinder to push waste through the cylinder;
- spaced plates with apertures aligned with the cylinder, wherein pressure from the piston on waste in the apertures forces liquids to pass between the spaced plates;
- an exit port aligned with the apertures;
- and
- a counterweighted pressure cone operably connected with the exit port with a tip of the pressure cone passing through the exit port when connected, wherein pressure from the piston on waste in the cylinder and in the apertures overcomes force of the pressure cone to allow solids to egress out the exit port past the pressure cone.
A process using a plate press system for extracting and separating liquids and solids from waste that contain liquids and solids, comprising the steps of:
- inserting waste into the plate press system,
- compressing waste in a cylinder of the plate press system,
- forcing compressed waste from the cylinder into apertures in spaced plates of the plate press system,
- applying pressure on a pressure cone,
- extracting liquids from the waste via the spaced plates, and
- extracting solids from the waste via an exit port when pressure on the pressure cone is exceeded by pressure from the compressed waste.
