Abstract
An apparatus for treating any type of organic waste such as sewage, garbage, weeds and surplus crops to convert them into useful products, having a treatment tank or plurality of such tanks, a conduit circuit for carrying a heating fluid therethrough; vibrators to vibrate the conduit to homogenize and mix the tank contents, a furnace for supplying heat to the conduit circuit with the fuel for the furnace being the gaseous product recovered from the treatment tank or tanks, and solar cells and microwave heating units to balance and maintain the supply of heat when the fuel supply to the furnace is low. Radiation diffusers may be positioned about the tank or tanks to assist in the conversion process.
Claims33
An apparatus for organic waste treatment comprising:
- a. a waste treatment tank,
- b. a heating fluid conduit circuit, a portion of which passes through the tank,
- c. vibratory means connected to the conduit circuit adjacent the portion of the conduit circuit which passes through the tank for vibrating the portion of the conduit circuit which passes through the tank,
- d. a pump positioned in the conduit circuit for circulating the heating fluid in the conduit circuit,
- e. a furnace positioned in the portion of the conduit circuit which is external to the tank for heating the heating fluid in the conduit circuit,
- f. feeding means interconnecting the tank and the furnace for feeding the gas generated in the tank to the furnace for combustion, and
- g. supplemental heating means positioned in the portion of the conduit circuit which is external to the tank for supplementing the heat output of the furnace.
An apparatus for organic waste treatment comprisng:
- a. a plurality of waste treatment tanks,
- b. a heating fluid conduit circuit, a portion of which passes through the plurality of tanks,
- c. vibratory means connected to the conduit circuit adjacent the portion of the conduit circuit which passes through the plurality of tanks for vibrating the portion of the conduit circuit which passes through the plurality of tanks,
- d. a pump positioned in the conduit circuit for circulating the heating fluid in the conduit circuit,
- e. a furnace positioned in the portion of the conduit circuit which is external to the plurality of tanks for heating the heating fluid in the conduit circuit,
- f. excess heat conducting means connected to the furnace for conducting excess generated heat outside of the apparatus for independent use,
- g. feeding means interconnecting the plurality of tanks and the furnace for feeding the gas generated in the plurality of tanks to the furnace for combustion,
- h. gas storage and distribution means interconnected with the feeding means for storing excess generated gas and distributing it to the furnace or into a pipeline leading outside the apparatus for independent use,
- i. supplemental heating means positioned in the portion of the conduit circuit which is external to the plurality of tanks for supplementing the heat output of the furnace,
- j. a sewage disposal unit, and
- k. sewage conduction means for conducting the sewage from the sewage disposal unit into the plurality of tanks.
An apparatus for organic waste treatment comprising:
- a. a vertical well for the waste to be treated having a depth substantially greater than its cross-sectional area,
- b. a wire loop, a portion of which passes through the well,
- c. vibratory means connected to the loop adjacent the portion of the loop which passes through the well,
- d. gas recovery means connected to the well for recovering the gas generated in the well, and
- e. radiation diffusers positioned in the top of the well.
