Abstract: A waste treatment plant integrates larvae-based natural processing with chemical processing for transforming animal waste into chemical products. The plant includes a pretreatment unit configured to receive animal waste, moisturize the animal waste with water, provide black soldier fly, BSF, larvae, and load a tray with a mixture of the animal waste, water, and the BSF larvae; a storage room configured to receive the tray and hold the tray between 10 and 14 days; a separation mechanism configured to receive a content of the tray after the 10 to 14 days, and separate the BSF larvae from undigested animal waste; a chitin and protein extraction unit configured to receive the BSF larvae and extract chitin and proteins; and a thermo-processing unit configured to receive the undigested animal waste and extract bio-oil and bio-char.
