System and method for efficient organic waste processing

Abstract

A system and method for efficient organic waste processing utilizes an integrated network of a central processing facility and multiple satellite facilities. Organic waste is collected and transported via a specialized transportation system to storage and preprocessing units. The waste is preserved in cold storage, reduced to uniform particle sizes through coarse and fine grinding, and thermally treated in a batch cooker to deactivate pathogens and generate a sterilized effluent. The resulting slurry is homogenized in a mixer and processed through a mesophilic digester to produce methane gas and a digested slurry. The methane is purified in a gas cleaner and converted into electricity via a generator for supply to a power grid. The digested slurry is separated by a centrifuge to yield phosphorus, fertilizer liquid, and solids, with the solids undergoing further treatment in a thermophilic system to maximize gas yield and reduce final waste volume.
