Waste recovery and material handling process to replace the traditional trash transfer station and landfil by extracting reusable material and energy from joined refuse streams to include; office waste, dry waste, wet garbage and the special hazardous material handling of biological, chemical, and nuclear waste

摘要

This innovative technology involves stationary as well as, portable application in the form of a waste material recovery and conversion center/power plant, which is termed The Recovery Center. It has been created to replace the traditional unsanitary trash transfer station and its final repository the landfill and or city dump. The invention is ecologically friendly, reduces the nation's dependency on oil, and is politically acceptable and publicly embraced as a good neighbor business for any community. The process taught separates wet waste from dry waste and recyclables during the collection process and at the center via smart routing of refuse vehicles and progressive plant automation. One big advantage is that the same vehicle is used for most all the waste and recyclable tonnage in a single area. These united loads are isolated by special bagging and dumped on a tipping floor at the Recovery center where multiple loads are divided into dry trash, office paper, co-mingle recyclables, cardboard and flat dry waste. Wet and dry waste are processed by an auger feeds as a consistent past quality fuel stock into either a gassifier reactors, or an incinerator steam boiler with stack and scrubbers to drive turbines and generators. Along with waste to energy conversion other value added products are recovered from the waste stream and sold locally, nationally and internationally. A stationary Recovery Center is contained in a metal building structure and placed on a concrete slab, while the portable center is in modular form contained in containers and transported by road and or rail car to a permanent of temporary location for use. The invention is designed to give municipalities choices in the way they handle their waste, produce energy, use energy, develop employment from recovery manufacturing, and recapture valuable real estate from their legacy landfills.
