Abstract:
A method of processing liquid organic waste, whereas sludge liquid is separated from sludge solid. The sludge solid is pasteurized and pumped into the formation unit. The heat gases (heart, emission, air pressure, ash, dust, and etcetera) force sludge solid to move more than one direction creating ocean waves look alike and the liquid substance in sludge solid is steamed out of the unit to designate location and the dried substance becomes an energy fuel product equivalent to coal.
Abstract:
A waste treatment system processes waste upon the application of energy. The system includes a vessel, and a plurality of plasma torches. Organic and/or inorganic waste may be introduced into the vessel, and the plasma torches may supply energy to treat the waste. The vessel is shaped to facilitate a cyclonic or substantially cyclonic flow of the contents within the vessel. The plasma torches may be positioned to enhance the cyclonic flow within the vessel.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for a gasifier solids removal system are provided. The system includes a down flow combustor including an inlet and an outlet and a combustion zone extending therebetween, the combustor configured to direct a flow of process material including syngas, flowable slag, and particulates in a first downward direction, a plurality of flow passages in serial flow communication including a first flow passage and a second flow passage, wherein the process material flow reverses direction flowing from the first passage to the second passage, and a plurality of entrainment separation stages in serial flow communication with at least one of the plurality of flow passages.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an industrial and/or household waste treatment method and to an industrial and/or household waste treatment installation (1). According to the invention, the method is characterised in that it consists of, in particular, the loading of the waste into numerous pierced containers (20), thermolysis of the waste in the containers (20) being conveyed into a pyrolysis oven (12); emptying of the containers (20) into a separation tank (18) in order to separate the products formed by the thermolysis; and treatment of the separated products.
Abstract:
A method of waste stabilization by mineralization of waste material in situ in a treatment container suitable or treatment, transit, storage and disposal. The waste material may be mixed with mineralizing additives and, optionally, reducing additives, in the treatment container or in a separate mixing vessel. The mixture is then subjected to heat in the treatment container to heat-activate mineralization of the mixture and form a stable, mineralized, monolithic solid. This stabilized mass may then be transported in the same treatment container for storage and disposal.

Abstract:
Presented is a method and apparatus for converting both organic and inorganic materials into more desirable products by the expedient of breaking down these materials into their stable molecular constituents and reforming them into more desirable substances. The process involves the use of two chambers. Blended solid and fluid wastes are augered into the first chamber and agitated, preferably by rotating the chamber so that the waste tumbles over internal fins, while a heat gradient is applied. Carbon and inorganic solid wastes are removed from the system and fluid wastes passed to a second chamber where they are again subjected to a heat gradient. Effluents are recovered and condensed. Electromagnetic radiation, preferably from microwaves, and/or lasers, masers or ultrasonic energy is applied to the wastes in both chambers. Liberal use of catalysts is made in the chambers. In addition, the augering system is based on the use of two, counter-rotating, inter-lapped, symmetric augers for positive feed of materials.
Abstract:
A device for decomposing an organic compound, which heats and decomposes organic compounds in at least one pyrolysis zone in a gas phase is disclosed. The pyrolysis zone comprises at least one high-frequency induction-heating device provided within a gas passage. The high-frequency induction-heating device preferably comprises an introduction part which introduces a gas to be treated; a pyrolysis part which pyrolyzes the gas to be treated; an induction heating coil provided around the outer circumference of the pyrolysis part so as to surround and heat the pyrolysis part, and an exhaust part which exhausts the gas having been decomposed in the pyrolysis part; wherein the pyrolysis part comprises a cylindrical body both ends of which are sealed, slits which communicate the interior with the exterior of the cylindrical body provided on the outer surface of the cylindrical body, and a communication pores to be communicated with an introduction tube which introduces the gas to be treated into the interior of the cylindrical body.
Abstract:
A method for remediating non-homogeneous radioactive waste to significantly reduce the waste mass/volume and to convert such waste to products that meet federal regulatory compliance standards is disclosed. High level waste (HLW) stored in underground tanks is typically a multi component mixture. After removal of the waste from the tanks or other storage areas the waste is isolated in a thermal desorption-type reaction vessel where the waste is pyrolized at pre-determined and carefully controlled temperatures, pressures, and atmospheres. This process eliminates organics, volatile metals, moisture and other low boiling temperature/high vapor pressure components and converts non-volatile waste to more stable metal oxides. Off-gas treatment systems scrub, treat and dispose of all off-gas components. A thermal desorption-type apparatus especially well suited for performing the method of the present invention is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for processing material comprising combinations of aluminum and plastic, such as aluminum bottle caps having a plastic coating, comprising the steps of: pyrolyzing the plastic in an inert atmosphere, cracking or gasifying the gases or vapours which are released in the course of pyrolysis, afterburning the coke which remains behind on the aluminum in the course or pyrolysis. The gases or vapours released are recirculated and are used, during pyrolysis, as an inert, oxygen-free medium.
