Abstract:
A sustainable closed loop system with zero waste for cogeneration of electric and thermal energy using woodfuel from a closeby energy plantation of quick growing trees such as Gliricidia Sepium. In addition to the energy plantation sub-system, the system includes a biomass fuel preparing sub-system and a steam and power generation sub-system for use with a biological wastewater treatment sub-system. No chemicals are used for wastewater treatment.
Abstract:
An energy product made from biomass, and a method of making an energy product from biomass. The energy product is made by processing biomass in a pressurizable reaction vessel with heat, pressure and agitation.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the distribution of cooling air having a cooling air distribution housing having an exterior wall, an interior wall, an inlet end and an outlet end defining a substantially circular passage therethrough, a cooling air providing assembly provides cooling air to the cooling air distribution housing and a plurality of cooling air distribution conduits before proving passage of the cooling air from the cooling air distribution housing into the substantially circular passage. Each of the plurality of cooling air distribution conduits having an inflow end and communication with the cooling air distribution housing and an outflow end extending into the substantially circular passage.
Abstract:
A method of incinerating pretreated industrial waste, according to which the wastes conveyed to the incinerator in containers is pretreated either by deep-freezing the wastes or by volatilizing the wastes under exclusion of air, or by mixing the wastes with substances of addition or with leaning substances, e.g., mud, ash, sand, wood shavings, whereupon the thus obtained wastes, either reduced in size or in volatilized condition are fed into the fire chamber of the incinerator.
Abstract:
A method of treating human remains prior to burial or other means of disposal comprises the steps of freezing the remains and size reducing the remains to particulate matter. The freezing step includes the steps of placing the remains in a freezing chamber, charging the chamber with a gas, and circulating the gas in a loop between the freezing chamber and a cooling device. The gas cooling device is adapted to cool the gas to a temperature below -100°C while maintaining the gas in a gaseous form.The gas cooling device may include a heatsink and a means for cooling the heatsink, wherein the circulating gas is cooled by being brought into contact with the heatsink.
Abstract:
Method and plant for waste treatment, said plant comprising an oven (1) delimiting an enclosure (2) for a fluidized particle bed (3) of materials, means for recirculating said particles, means (28) for mixing, coating and drying said recycled particles and wastes and a device for feeding the oven from means (28). The invention is applicable in the treatment of wet wastes.
