Abstract

A waste processing system to dry, condense and sterilize waste materials to a final product for reuse enhances efficiency while eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. The system includes a mixing chamber with blades to shred the waste materials, a pressurized chamber operably connected to the mixing chamber and including a heating ducting operated by a control system, the control system able to heat the waste materials received by the pressurized chamber from the mixing chamber to a temperature within a predetermined temperature range for a time period to eliminate moisture from the waste materials, and an auger housed within the pressurized chamber and operably connected to an auger motor. The auger extrudes the heated waste materials through an outlet in the pressurized chamber to form the final product for reuse.

Claims (14)

1. A waste processing system to dry, condense and sterilize waste materials to a final product for reuse, the system configured to enhance efficiency while eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, the system comprising:

a mixing chamber, comprising a waste hopper and blades configured to shred the waste materials, wherein the waste hopper is located above the blades;

a pressurized chamber connected below to the mixing chamber and comprising a heating ducting attached to an inside surface of the mixing chamber and operated by a control system, the control system being configured to heat the waste materials received by the pressurized chamber from the mixing chamber to a temperature within a predetermined temperature range for a time period to eliminate moisture from the waste materials; and

an auger housed at the bottom of the pressurized chamber and operably connected to an auger motor, wherein the auger is configured to extrude the heated waste materials through an outlet in the pressurized chamber to form the final product for reuse.

2. The waste processing system of claim 1 , wherein the heating ducting comprises a hot oil jacket, surrounding the auger on three sides and configured to transfer heat to the waste materials.

3. The waste processing system of claim 2 , wherein the blades of the mixing chamber comprise a pair of butterfly blades operably connected to a pair of blade motors; wherein each butterfly blade contains a rounded convex blade joined to a rounded concave transition wherein the rounded concave transition is connected to another rounded convex blade.

4. The waste processing system of claim 3 , further comprising a door mounted to a bottom portion of the pressurized chamber.

5. The waste processing system of claim 3 , further comprising a vacuum system operably connected to the pressurized chamber and configured to remove the moisture emitted from the heated waste materials in the chamber.

6. The waste processing system of claim 5 , further comprising at least one storage tank operably connected to the pressurized chamber, wherein the at least one storage tank is configured to condense the moisture emitted from the waste materials into water.

7. The waste processing system of claim 6 , further comprising at least one activated carbon charcoal cartridge connected to the at least one storage tank, wherein the at least one activated carbon charcoal cartridge is configured to absorb constituents of concern from the water stored in the at least one storage tank.

8. The waste processing system of claim 7 , further comprising an ozone production system operably connected to the at least one storage tank, wherein the ozone production system is configured to expose ozone to the water from the at least one storage tank to sterilize the water.

9. The waste processing system of claim 8 , further comprising an excess ozone destruction system operably connected to the at least one storage tank and comprising an ultraviolet ozone destruction component configured to remove excess ozone from the water stored in the at least one storage tank after being processed by the ozone production system.

10. The waste processing system of claim 9 , further comprising a water disposal tank operably connected to the at least one storage tank and configured to store water processed by the at least one activated carbon charcoal cartridge, the ozone production system and the excess ozone destruction system.

11. The waste processing system of claim 1 , wherein the heating ducting comprises electrical heating element inside of the heating ducting which is inside the pressurized chamber.
