Title:
WASTE ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/048543
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An on-site modular method and system for processing waste typically including food
from a food services facility. The waste is processed in a size reduction unit
and subsequently dried in a dryer. The dried shredded waste is processed to produce
densified pellets. The food binds the non-food waste in the pellets. The pellets
are burned in a thermal conversion unit to produce a gas and waste heat. The waste
heat is directed to the dryer for use therein. The gas is fed to a generator or turbine
to produce electricity. A portion of the electricity produced is used to energize
the process.
