Waste energy conversion system

摘要

An on-site modular method and system for processing waste typically including food from a food services facility. The waste is processed in a size reduction unit and subsequently dried in a dryer. The dried shredded waste is processed to produce densified pellets. The food binds the non-food waste in the pellets. The pellets are burned in a thermal conversion unit to produce a gas and waste heat. The waste heat is directed to the dryer for use therein. The gas is fed to a generator or turbine to produce electricity. A portion of the electricity produced is used to energize the process.
