  • Solid waste digestion system
    Patent number: 10443030
    Abstract: A system for digesting biodigestible feed that preferably includes the steps of comminuting the feed, introducing feed, an oxygen-containing gas, an accelerant, and bacteria into a digestion zone, the bacteria being suitable for digesting the feed under aerobic, anaerobic, and anoxic conditions. The contents of the digestion zone can be changed from aerobic operation to either anoxic or anaerobic operation, or vice versa, without changing the bacteria in the digestion zone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 15, 2019
    Assignee: Eco Sphere Sciences, Inc.
