Abstract:
The invention provides a system and method for recycling used disposable diapers, which realizes effective recycling of used disposable diapers in the form of processed waste, and which can flexibly contribute to reduction in CO 2 emission, as compared with the case where used disposable diapers are disposed of without being converted into processed waste. Provided is a used disposable diaper recycling system 1, including, at least, a processing apparatus 20 for producing, from used disposable diapers 100 serving as a raw material, processed waste 101 having a predetermined water content and a volume reduced to a predetermined level; and a recovering facility 70 or 90 for reutilizing the used disposable diapers 100 by burning the processed waste 101 as a fuel and also by recovering thermal energy.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a hydrolysis apparatus for organic waste using a hydraulic crushing effect, and more particularly to a hydrolysis apparatus for organic waste using a hydraulic crushing effect that includes: a housing having an open top surface and an inner lodging space; a reaction tank being lodged in the inner lodging space of the housing and having an open top surface and an inner space for accommodating a defined liquid chemical; a heating section connected to a bottom surface of the reaction tank and integrated into the reaction tank; and a driving means for moving the housing to put the housing in a linear reciprocating motion. The present invention has an effect to greatly reduce the physical crushing time and the dissolution time using a liquid chemical in the hydrolysis of animal carcass and other organic wastes, such as food waste, sewage/waste water sludge, animal/plant residue, and so forth, thereby increasing the work efficiency and reducing the cost.
Abstract:
An apparatus, a system, and a method for heat treating a moisture-containing or water-laden material are provided. The heat treatment can be drying for dehydration, gasification, or full carbonization. The system comprises a feeding mechanism, and a rapid compression unit (RCU) apparatus having a screw, a barrel, and one or more flow disrupters. The system can further include a reflux condenser, an aftercooler stage, a second condenser for particle filtering, and an exit mechanism. The one or more flow disrupters are located on an inner surface of the barrel and project into the passageway created by the screw and the barrel. The screw is sized to fit within the barrel such that flow disrupter does not contact the screw. The one or more flow disrupters cause the water-laden material to fold over onto its self, thereby, allowing for the occurrence of more uniform drying.
