Abstract
The present invention relates to a bio-conversion treatment method and related system that uses one or more species of microorganisms preferably larvae of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) to effectively convert organic waste into harmless and value-added products such as fertilizers and animal feed.
Claims20
A system (100) for treatment of organic waste, comprising:
- a tower (104,106) including a first section (104), and a second section (106) operationally engaged to the first section (104), each of the first section (104) and the second section (106) comprises a plurality of first floors (104a), a plurality of second floors (106a) respectively, wherein each of the first floors (104a) of the first section (104) is configured to receive and facilitate conversion of the organic waste into one or more value-added products, and serve as a pathway for each of the floors (106a) of the second section (106), when the second section (106) is operated to rotate within the first section (104);
- a support structure (102a,102b) configured to support the tower (104,106);
- at least one first passageway (108) with a plurality of first nozzles (108a), wherein the first passageway (108) is mountable on the support structure (102a,102b) for selectively channelling at least one of:
- the organic waste, and the one or more species of microorganisms into selected floors of the plurality of first floors (104a) of the first section (104);
- at least one second passageway (107a) with a plurality of second nozzles (107c), wherein the second passageway (107a) is mountable on the support structure (102a,102b) for channelling air into the plurality of first floors (104a) of the first section (104);
- and
- at least one third passageway (107b) with a plurality of third nozzles (107d), wherein the third passageway (107b) is mountable on the support structure (102a,102b) for channelling air out of the plurality of first floors (104a) of the first section (104);
- and
- a first motor (109) adapted for operatively rotating the second section (106) within the first section (104).

A method for treatment of organic waste using an organic waste treatment system (100), comprising the steps of:
- pre-processing the organic waste to form a blended organic waste;
- selectively channelling the pre-processed organic waste into a plurality of first floors (104a) of a first section (104) of a tower (104,106) using at least one first passageway (108) having a plurality of first nozzles (108a);
- selectively channelling one or more species of microorganisms into the first floors (104) of the first section (104) of the tower (104,106) using the first passageway (108);
- channelling air into and out of the first floors (104) of the first section (104) using at least one second passageway (107a) and at least one second passageway (107b), both having a plurality of first nozzles (107c), and a plurality of first nozzles (107d) respectively;
- allowing the channelled microorganisms, and the pre-processed organic waste to remain in the first section (104) of the tower (104,106) for a specific period of time to convert the pre-processed organic waste to one or more value added products;
- and
- harvesting the value added products and the microorganism out of the first section (104), wherein the step of harvesting is facilitated by rotation of a plurality of second floors (106a) of a second section (106) of the tower (104,106) within the first section (104).
