Comprehensive process for the treatment and use of municipal solid waste

Abstract

Comprehensive process for the treatment and utilization of municipal solid waste. This process is divided into five (5) stages, and therefore drawings are not required. Stage one (1): Municipal solid waste (MSW) is deposited directly into a chamber called the Thermal Shock Chamber, where it is disinfected at a temperature preferably up to 110 degrees Celsius. Stage two (2): The MSW contained in the thermal shock chamber is extracted and transferred to a dehydration chamber, where moisture is removed, preferably up to 60%. Stage three (3): The waste contained in the dehydration chamber is transferred to a conveyor belt, where inorganic and recyclable waste is separated from biodegradable waste.In stage four (4), biodegradable organic waste is transferred to a biotransformation chamber for compost production, while inorganic and recyclable waste is transferred to a processing area for the production of posts, paving stones, and building blocks. In stage five (5), the resulting products—compost, posts, paving stones, and blocks—are packaged, weighed, and transferred to a storage warehouse for later sale. Recycled products are also transferred to a storage warehouse where they are packaged and weighed for later sale.
