SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING FOOD WASTE INTO FUEL

摘要

A system for converting food waste into fuel includes at least one thermal decomposition reactor. The at least one thermal decomposition reactor is configured to transfer an organic waste, that is, food waste, through a region on which a sunlight is concentrated by at least one solar concentrator. A fermenter is disposed at a front end of the at least one thermal decomposition reactor, and any thermal energy remaining after being used in the at least one thermal decomposition reactor is additionally used in fermentation of the food waste. A method of converting food waste into fuel is also provided.

1. A system for converting food waste into fuel by thermally decomposing the food waste, comprising:
a food waste storage tank in which food waste collected from a region is stored; at least one solar concentrator configured to collect a sunlight and concentrate the sunlight on a predetermined region; at least one thermal decomposition reactor disposed in the predetermined region on which the sunlight is concentrated by the at least one solar concentrator and configured to discharge a product through thermal decomposition of the food waste; a transferring device configured to transfer the food waste to the at least one thermal decomposition reactor from the food waste storage tank; and a fermenter disposed at a front end of the at least one thermal decomposition reactor, configured to temporarily contain the food waste transferred from the food waste storage tank before provision to the at least one thermal decomposition reactor so as to ferment the food waste, wherein the food waste is transferred in the at least one thermal decomposition reactor and thermally decomposed while passing through the predetermined region on which the sunlight is concentrated by the at least one solar concentrator, and the transferring device transfers the food waste in the at least one thermal decomposition reactor at a controlled speed to thermally decompose the food waste.
