Abstract
A system for waste processing includes a feeder for receiving a waste stream of carbonaceous materials, multiple independently controllable augers, a reactor and an incinerator. The reactor receives a waste stream from the feeder and using a controllable heating element assembly converts the carbonaceous materials in the waste stream to syngas. The incinerator uses the syngas from the reactor to incinerate separately received black water waste from a storage tank.
Claims20
A modular waste processing system comprising:
- a first self-contained waste pre-processing system for receiving heterogeneous carbonaceous waste of varying size and composition and processing to form a homogeneous single stream of carbonaceous waste;
- a second self-contained waste processing system for receiving the single stream of homogenous carbonaceous waste from the first self-contained waste pre-processing system via a first conduit and for processing the single stream of homogenous carbonaceous waste to a syngas and ash;
- and
- a third self-contained waste producing system for receiving and storing black water waste therein and for providing the black water waste to the second self-contained waste processing system via a second conduit,
- wherein the second self-contained waste processing system incinerates the black water waste from the third self-contained waste producing system using the syngas produced therein as fuel.
