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:
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:

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 system and method to prevent the oxidizer overheating using cold side bypass during high input for a VOCs treatment system with series rotor are described, which may be used in an organic waste air treatment system. The system is equipped with a Thermal Oxidizer (TO), a First Heat Exchanger, a Second Heat Exchanger, a third heat exchanger, a Fourth Heat Exchanger, a First Cold-Side Transporting Pipeline, a Fourth Cold-Side Transporting Pipeline, a First Adsorption Rotor, a Second Adsorption Rotor, and a Chimney. There is a Cold-Side Proportional Damper installed between the First Desorption-Treated Air Pipeline and the First Cold-Side Transporting Pipeline, the First Desorption-Treated Air Pipeline and the Fourth Cold-Side Transporting Pipeline or between the First Cold-Side Transporting Pipeline and the Fourth Cold-Side Transporting Pipeline, or the damper is installed on the First Desorption-Treated Air Pipeline.

Abstract:
The starting point is a process to improve the performance of the incineration of combustible waste material in an incineration chamber, whereby the waste material is conveyed to a burner flame where it is burned with combustion air at a temperature in the range from 1100null C. to 1700null C. null2012null F. to 3092null F.null. On this basis, in order to create a process that allows a capacity increase of installations employed for the exothermal incineration of waste materials, it is proposed according to the invention that at least part of the combustion air is replaced by an oxygen-rich gas having an oxygen content that is higher than that of air and that the oxygen-rich gas is mixed with a cooling medium.
Abstract:
Dumped solid waste is mixed with sand and fed through a shredder. Sorters sort aluminum glass and ferrous materials from the shredded waste, and an indirect fired dryer heats the remaining shredded waste. Dust in gases from the dryer is removed in a bag house. Sand is added to the dried, shredded waste, and the waste is cooled and stored in surge storage. The shredded, dried, cooled and stored waste is fed to one or more reducing chamber units. Waste is moved through individual chambers within the units with augers and is gravitationally fed between the chambers. Gases from the chambers are condensed, and the condensate is stored as oils. Solid products from the reducing chamber units are cooled. The sand is separated from the solid product. The resultant solid product and oils may be sold as fuel and feedstock, or the resultant product may be pulverized and combined with the oil in a slurry which is used as a fuel or a feedstock.
