Title:
METHOD AND HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM OF ORGANIC BIODEGRADABLE WASTE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/199186
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
Method and Drying System of Organic Biodegradable Waste that is characterized by the fact that it is a hybrid drying system (synergistic action of photo degradation and mechanic degradation) which produces stabilized mass of low granulometry for multiple uses. Initially, the input of organic biodegradable waste into the main drying unit (1) is realized and the operation planning via the unit of control and handling, the photo degradation -exposure to a special drying lamp (6), as a pre- treatment stage, the mechanic waste degradation for the reception of particles with a desirable size smaller than 3 cm using for this purpose a continuous horizontal rotary agitation device (7), which is placed in a suitable height inside the removable perforated chamber of metallic robust structure (5), which is placed concentrically and coaxially inside the main drying unit (1), the parallel continuous photo degradation and continuous separation of dried-stabilized mass from the removable perforated chamber of metallic robust manufacture (5), based on granulometry, and the parallel under-pressure suction of the produced gases as well as their removal.

Claims:
AMENDED CLAIMS

received by the International Bureau on 10 December 2014 (10.12.2014)

1. Method of Organic Biodegradable Waste that is characterized by the fact that it is a hybrid drying system combining synergistic action of light degradation and mechanic degradation which produces stabilized mass of low granulometry for multiple uses, carrying out the following steps:

1. input of organic biodegradable waste into the system- adjustment of operation parameters

2. photo degradation -exposure to a drying lamp, as a pre-treatment stage

3. waste mechanical degradation in order to receive particles with desirable size smaller than 3 cm by using for this purpose a continuous horizontal rotary agitation device (7).

4. parallel continuous photo degradation -final drying

5. parallel under-pressure suction of the produced gases and removal.

6. remaining of the material to be dried and its safe removal.

2. Hybrid System that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste of claim 1 , characterized by the fact that it consists of at least:

i. A drying unit (1) of organic biodegradable waste constituting a chamber of metal inox manufacture which can take various forms.

ii. At least one transparent durable container (2), preferably of crystal manufacture for the collection of the final stabilized mass, of suitable cross-section in order to be adjacent precisely at the bottom of the main drying unit (1).

iii. At least one supporting base of the system, of plastic manufacture (3).

iv. One mechanically opening input door (4), for the safe and controlled input of waste.

v. At least one removable perforated chamber of metal robust manufacture (5) that can take various forms which is placed concentrically and coaxially inside the main drying unit (1) of the organic biodegradable waste with such dimensions of this removable perforated chamber so that suitable space can be predicted between its exterior covering and the interior of the main drying unit enabling its easy removal and placement.

vi. At least one photo degradation and drying device (6), which is placed in the internal space of the input door (4).

vii. At least one continuous horizontal rotary agitation device (7), which is placed at a suitable height inside the removable perforated chamber of metal robust manufacture (5). viii. At least one device for the under-pressure suction of the gases (8)

ix. Control and handling unit, placed on the upper exterior surface of the main unit (1), which has all the appropriate buttons and activation switches for the control and adjustment of operation parameters.

3. Hybrid System that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste according to claims 1 -2, characterized by the fact that at least one device of photo degradation and drying (6) is used for the photo degradation which is placed in the internal space of the input door (4).

4. Hybrid System that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste according to claims 1 - 3, characterized by the fact that a continuous horizontal rotary agitation device (7) is used in order to receive particles with desirable size smaller than 3cm through mechanical degradation which includes at least one agitation ring of metal manufacture and horizontal axis, of appropriate cross section, so that during its rotation it will be adjacent to the inner walls and the bottom of the inner removable perforated chamber of metal robust manufacture (5).

5. Hybrid System that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste according to claims 1-4 and is characterized by the fact that the mechanic degradation and photo degradation take place in a parallel and synergistic way so as to achieve the final drying and the transformation of the material into a stabilized mass of low granulometry.

6. Hybrid System that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste according to claims 1 -5 characterized by the fact that it the continuous separation of the dried-stabilized mass takes place, by the removable perforated chamber of robust metal manufacture (5), based on granulometry, since due to the design and speed of the horizontal rotary agitation device (7) the continuous agitation takes place, the rate of moisture reduction is increased and the final drying is achieved.

7. Hybrid System that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste according to claims 1 -6, characterized by the fact that the under-pressure suction of the produced gases takes place via an appropriate suction pump (8), which is connected to the inner surface of the removable perforated chamber of metal robust manufacture (5), their liquefaction and their safe transportation to each sink's siphon, so that neither gaseous pollutants release to the atmosphere nor liquid hazardous waste production takes place, which would require proper disposal.

8. Hybrid System that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste according to claims 1-7, characterized by the fact that through the use of an external control unit, the planning and the continuous control of operation are achieved, the duration the material must remain to be dried so as to be turned into a stabilized mass of low granulometry is determined precisely and the required time is set according to the system's size-capacity.

9. Hybrid system that applies the drying method of organic biodegradable waste according to claims 1-8, characterized by the fact that as soon as the input of waste is completed,

the user closes the mechanically opening input door (4), so that the operation of the system begins,

the input door (4) is sealed so that there is no gas leakage to the surrounding space,

the process is completed, the mechanically opening input door is unsealed

(4), and via handles (10),

the main drying unit (1) is removed,

the transparent durable container (2) is removed, evacuated, and placed again to the supporting base of the system (3) and

then precisely- above the transparent durable container (2), the main drying unit (1) is adjacent thereto and absolutely fixed and the system is ready for a new use.
