IN-SITE COMPOSTING SYSTEM FOR COMMUNITY KITCHEN WASTE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318126 titled 'IN-SITE COMPOSTING SYSTEM FOR COMMUNITY KITCHEN WASTE
The abstract describes an in-site composting system for community kitchen waste, consisting of a dump unit, power energy conversion unit, biological conversion unit, energy storage unit, and material outputting and returning unit.
- Dump unit receives kitchen waste
- Power energy conversion unit converts energy from fitness equipment or rocking handle into electrical energy
- Biological conversion unit processes kitchen waste through composting and fermentation
- Energy storage unit stores electrical energy generated
- Material outputting and returning unit outputs and returns decomposed material
Potential Applications: - Community kitchens - Residential complexes - Educational institutions
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of kitchen waste - Reduction of landfill waste - Sustainable energy generation
Benefits: - Environmental sustainability - Cost-effective waste management - Renewable energy production
Commercial Applications: Title: Sustainable Waste Management System for Community Kitchens This technology can be used in various commercial settings such as restaurants, hotels, and food processing facilities to manage kitchen waste effectively and generate renewable energy.
Prior Art: Researchers can explore prior art related to in-site composting systems, waste management technologies, and renewable energy generation methods to understand the existing knowledge in this field.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in in-site composting systems, waste-to-energy technologies, and sustainable waste management practices to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed system.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the in-site composting system contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions? - The system helps in diverting organic waste from landfills, where it would emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas, during decomposition. 2. What are the key factors to consider when implementing this technology in different settings? - Factors such as waste volume, energy requirements, and space availability need to be considered for successful implementation of the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
an in-site composting system for community kitchen waste is provided, which includes: a dump unit, configured to receive a kitchen waste; a power energy conversion unit, configured to convert a part of energy generated by a fitness equipment or a rocking handle into electrical energy, and output a remaining part of the generated energy directly as power, a biological conversion unit, configured to receive the kitchen waste fed by the dump unit and perform a composting and fermentation processing on the kitchen waste; an energy storage unit, configured to store the electrical energy generated by the power energy conversion unit and the solar panel; and a material outputting and returning unit, configured to be connected to the biological conversion unit, wherein the material outputting and returning unit is configured to output and return a material decomposed by the biological conversion unit.
