MICRO SUPER CRITICAL WATER OXIDATION SOLIDS TREATMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18578243 titled 'MICRO SUPER CRITICAL WATER OXIDATION SOLIDS TREATMENT SYSTEM

The patent application describes a system and method for micro-Super Critical Water Oxidation solids treatment of fecal waste.

• The system includes an injector vessel and a reactor.
• The reactor can heat a slurry batch to a temperature at or above the critical point of water, turning it into a supercritical fluid.
• Compressed air is injected into the reactor and heated over time to achieve the desired temperature.
• A combined concentrator and phase separator receives the treated output from the reactor and separates solid ash from liquid and gaseous effluent.
• A drying tunnel is used to receive and dry the solid ash produced during the treatment process.

Potential Applications: - Waste treatment facilities - Environmental remediation projects - Industrial wastewater treatment

Problems Solved: - Efficient treatment of fecal waste - Separation of solid ash from liquid and gaseous effluent - Drying of solid ash for disposal

Benefits: - Environmentally friendly waste treatment - Reduction of harmful pollutants - Resource recovery from waste

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Fecal Waste Treatment System This technology can be used in waste treatment plants, environmental cleanup projects, and industrial settings to efficiently treat fecal waste and separate solid ash for disposal. The market implications include improved waste management practices, reduced environmental impact, and potential cost savings for waste treatment facilities.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system compare to traditional methods of fecal waste treatment?

  - The system offers a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach compared to traditional methods like incineration or landfill disposal.

2. What are the potential scalability options for this technology?

  - The system can be scaled up or down based on the volume of waste to be treated, making it versatile for different applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

System and method for micro-Super Critical Water Oxidation solids treatment of fecal waste are described. The system includes an injector vessel () and a reactor (). The reactor can receive an injection of a slurry batch and an input of compressed air that is heated over time to a temperature at or above the critical point of water into the super critical fluid phase. A combined concentrator and phase separator ()) can receive a treated output from the reactor and separate solid ash from liquid and gaseous effluent. A drying tunnel () can receive and dry the solid ash. The treatment process includes heating the slurry batch, within the reactor, to a temperature of at or above the critical point of water into the super critical fluid phase and maintaining the slurry batch a minimum temperature, within the reactor, for a predetermined treatment time to produce a treated output.
