<p>The process under consideration provides for the treatment of solid municipal waste and waste of other origin without any preliminary crushing so as to obtain a fuel of high calorific power which would be an "alternative" to coal, diesel oil and other costly fuels. For this purpose, the uncrushed solid waste is treated with organic waste, such as sludge, sewage, slaughter offal, manure and agricultural waste, food industry refuse, etc. in order to cause fermentation, which converts the readily biodegradable materials of low calorific power into fertilizer, while the materials that are not readily degradable or not degradable at all and have a high calorific power remain unchanged and can be separated out, for example, by sifting, following removal of the remaining valuable substances, such as glass, metals and plastics.</p> |
