Agitator in a sewer system
View Patent ↗In one aspect of the invention, a sewer system has a waste material flow path which has an entrance and a downstream digester assembly. At least one in-line agitator is disposed upstream to the digester assembly. The at least one in-line agitator adapted to break down the waste material.
1. A sewer system, comprising:
a waste material flow path comprising an entrance and a downstream digester assembly;
at least one in-line agitator disposed upstream to the digester assembly;
the at least one inline agitator adapted to break down waste material;
wherein the at least one in-line agitator is a micronizer.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the digester assembly comprises a first and second tank; at least one of the tanks being adapted to process waste material through an anaerobic digestion process.
3. The sewer system of claim 2 , wherein the first tank is adapted to temporarily store the waste material.
4. The sewer system of claim 2 , wherein the digester comprises a connection adapted to provide fluid communication between the first tank and second tank.
5. The sewer system of claim 2 , wherein the first tank comprises a settling pool.
6. The sewer system of claim 1 , wherein a pump is positioned upstream from the at least one agitator.
7. The sewer system of claim 1 , wherein the micronizer comprises a first cylinder with a substantially flat polycrystalline diamond bonded to a face.
8. The sewer system of claim 7 , wherein the first cylinder comprises a substantially circular port disposed concentrically with its center.
9. The sewer system of claim 7 , wherein the micronizer comprises a second cylinder with a substantially flat polycrystalline diamond bonded to a face.
10. The sewer system of claim 9 , wherein the first cylinder is disposed proximate the second cylinder such that when the first cylinder is in contact with the second cylinder, the polycrystalline diamond of the first cylinder contacts the polycrystalline diamond of the second cylinder.
11. The sewer system of claim 1 , wherein the micronizer comprises a biasing unit.
12. The sewer system of claim 1 , wherein the digester assembly is an anaerobic digester assembly.
13. The sewer system of claim 1 , wherein the entrance of the sewer system is in fluid communication with a toilet, sink, washing machine, dishwasher, drain, wastewater receptacle or combinations thereof.
