| 摘要 |
The present invention is a composting bioreactor system that can be continually fed with biodegradable solid wastes, waste waters and exhaust gases, that can automatically recycle the biodegradable wastes into liquid nutrients and heat energy, and that automatically supplies the nutritious liquid and heat into the integrated hydroponics system or aquaponics system. The invention together with the integrated food growing system can be installed onsite in places such as household balconies, household backyards and premises of restaurants and food factories etc. therefore can lead to zero mileage targets both for recycling the wastes and for growing the foods consumed in the same location. It can fully recover and reuse all the nutrients and heat energy from the treated wastes. It can also reach the target of nearly zero pollution to the environment during all processes. For better operational efficiency, an oblique cone agitator, a fish plow agitator and a vortex flower turbine are specially designed for the bioreactor system. |

1. A bioreactor system for recycling biodegradable wastes, comprising:
a. a bioreactor vessel having a vessel volume, said volume is divided into an upper chamber to receive said biodegradable wastes, a middle chamber to receive a filtered biodegradable waste generated in the upper chamber, and a lower chamber to receive a liquid waste generated in the middle chamber; b. a perforated plate separator to separate said upper chamber and said middle chamber and a concaved or a conical separator to separate middle chamber from said lower chamber; c. a fish plow mixing agitator module installed in the upper chamber to provide a harmonized mixing; d. an oblique cone mixing agitator module installed in the middle chamber to provide a harmonized mixing; e. an aeration module installed in the middle chamber, said aeration module comprises of a plurality of perforated pipes fixed on an upper surface of said concaved or conical lower separator; f. a heating module installed in the lower chamber to heat said liquid waste and kill pathogen microbes and weed seeds of said liquid waste; g. an extension having an upper volume, a middle volume filled with a bio-filter media and having means to receive said liquid waste from said lower chamber, and a lower volume having a second aeration module; h. a plurality of inlet and outlet ports; i. a plurality of sensors for temperature, humidity, oxygen, ammonia, carbon dioxide and air pressure installed inside the bioreactor vessel and connected to a central control unit, said sensors generating sensor-data; and j. said central control unit to control said modules for heating, aeration and agitation in said system,
whereby said system provides a created condition to speed up degrading said biodegradable waste into a usable liquid in a continuous manner. |
