Abstract: GARBAGE AND OTHER INORGANIC AND ORGANIC SOLID WASTE MATTER IS REDUCED TO SMALL SIZE AND MIXED WITH A FLUID SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF H2O, LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL, LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL-PARTICULATE CARBON SLURRY OR PARTICULATE CARBON-WATER SLURRY PRODUCED SUBSEQUENTLY IN THE PROCESS, AND MIXTURES THEREOF TO PRODUCE A FEED MIXTURE STREAM. THE FEED MIXTURE IS PREFERABLY PREHEATED TO PRODUCE A FEED DISPERSION STREAM COMPRISING BITS OF GARBAGE AND SOLID WASTE MATTER, PARTICULATE CARBON, LIQUID AND VAPORIZED HYDROCARBON FUEL, AND STEAM. BY THE PARTIAL OXIDATION OF THE FEED MIXTURE OR DISPERSION STREAM WITH A STREAM OF OXYGEN-RICH GAS IN THE REACTION ZONE OF A FREE-FLOW UNPACKED NONCATALYTIC SYNTHESIS GAS GENERATOR AT AN AUTOGENOUS TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1500 TO 3000*F. AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1 TO 250 ATMOSPHERES, THE GARBAGE AND SOLID WASTE MATTER ARE CONVERTED INTO A STREAM OF SYNTHESIS GAS OR FUEL GAS, AND OTHER VALUABLE BY-PRODUCTS.

Abstract: SEWAGE IS CONVERTED INTO A SUSEFUL NON-POLLUTING PRODUCT GAS, E.G. SYNTHESIS GAS OR FUEL GAS BY DEWATERING MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWAGE, PRODUCING A THICKENED SLUDGE. THE THICKENED SLUDGE IS MIXED WITH A FLUID SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF H20, LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL, PARTICULATE CARBON SLURRIES IN WATER OR IN A LIQUID HYDROCARBON FUEL IS PRODUCED SUBSEQUENTLY IN THE PROCESS, AND MIXTURES THEREOF TO PRODUCE A FEED MIXTURE STREAM. PREFERABLY THE FEED MIXTURE IS HEATED TO A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 212 TO 600*F. TO VAPORIZE VOLATILE CONSTITUENTS IN THE FEED MIXTURE AND TO PRODUCE A FEED DISPERSION STREAM. THE FEED DISPERSION IS THEN REACTED BY PARTIAL OXIDATION WITH AN OXYGEN-RICH GAS IN AN UNPACKED FREE-FLOW NON-CATALYTIC SYNTHESIS GAS GENERATOR, AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1500 TO 3000*F. AND AT A PRESSURE IN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 1 TO 250 ATMOSPHERES TO PRODUCE SYNTHESIS GAS. WATER SEPARATED FROM THE SEWAGE IS PURIFIED AND USED FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OR CONVERTED INTO BY-PRODUCT STEAM BY INDIRECT HEAT EXCHANGE WITH THE PRODUCT GAS. IN A SECOND EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION, GARBAGE IS DISPOSED OF BY MIXING BITS OF GARBAGE WITH THICKENED SEWAGE SLUDGE AND THE AFORESAID FLUID THEREBY FORMING A FEED MIXTURE WHICH IS CONVERTED INTO SYNTHESIS GAS BY THE PARTIAL OXIDATION REACTION WITH AN OXYGEN-RICH GAS IN SAID FLOW TYPE GAS GENERATOR.
