Abstract
The present invention provides a method of processing waste material and a blend stock which provides a suitable fuel and includes the steps of grinding the waste material in a tank containing the blend stock with the grinding being in at least part provided by the coaction between a rotating impeller and a stationary plate so that the degree to which the waste material is ground is controlled by controlling the spacing between the plate and the impeller.
Claims5
A method for providing a fuel mixture, including a liquid blend stock and solid waste particles, said method including the steps of:
- delivering the liquid blend stock to a dispersion unit,
- delivering solid waste pieces along with a container used to hold the solid waste pieces to said dispersion unit,
- causing the liquid blend stock, the solid waste pieces and the container used to hold the solid waste pieces to pass through means for shearing the solid waste pieces and the container used to hold the solid waste pieces into solid waste particles,
- said means for shearing the solid waste pieces and the container used to hold the solid waste pieces into solid waste particles also dispersing the solid waste particles in the liquid blend stock within said dispersion unit;
- and
- magnetically separating metal fragments from the liquid blend stock and solid waste particle mixture in said dispersion unit,
- discharging the liquid blend stock with the solid waste particles dispersed therein from the dispersion unit,
- discharging said magnetically separated metal fragments from said dispersion unit.
