This invention introduces a smarter, safer, and more efficient system for processing organic waste—like manure, egg residues from vaccine production, sewage sludge, or slaughterhouse by-products—by heating them to remove moisture, neutralize pathogens, and turn them into something useful, such as fertilizer or animal feed additives.
The Problem
Current waste treatment systems often release toxic, smelly gases into the air, use energy inefficiently, and struggle to fully kill dangerous bacteria and viruses. These systems rely heavily on manual control and are not ideal for biohazardous materials.
What This Invention Does
It uses a specialized heating tank (a dehydrator) with an outer jacket that gets heated by gases produced during the waste treatment process. Before these gases are used for heating, they are thoroughly burned in a “thermal oxidation chamber” to eliminate odors and pathogens. A built-in cooling system then mixes the burned gases with fresh air to maintain a safe, constant temperature—making the entire process more stable and efficient.
Inventive Step (What’s New)
Unlike older systems that control the burner directly to regulate temperature (which risks under-burning the gases), this system keeps the burner running consistently and instead adjusts the air mix to manage the temperature. This ensures that harmful gases are always fully burned before being used for heating, which improves safety and reduces pollution.
Benefits
- Converts harmful waste into safe, reusable material
- Reduces odor and air pollution
- Saves energy through better temperature control
- Kills bacteria and viruses more reliably
- Less manual work needed
Broader Impact
This technology can help industries handle organic waste more responsibly, reduce harmful emissions, and contribute to sustainable agriculture and environmental protection—all while lowering costs and improving safety.
