Patent number: 9884324Abstract: The method and systems efficiently extract recyclable materials from a mixed solid waste stream. The methods and systems use sizing, density and dimensional separation to produce intermediate waste streams that are enriched in particular recyclable materials. The recyclable materials can then be efficiently sorted from the individual intermediate streams using mechanized sorting equipment.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: ORGANIC ENERGY CORPORATIONInventor: George Gitschel

Patent number: 9713812Abstract: Methods and systems for mining or recovering high value recyclable materials from waste streams with high percentages of recyclable materials. Examples of waste streams that can be advantageously processed using the methods and systems herein include dry commercial solid waste, dry industrial solid waste, and/or source separated curbside collected and processed single stream waste. The methods utilize a shredder to improve the efficiency and recovery rate of recyclables. Some methods also include upgrading an existing waste processing facility to include a shredder.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: ORGANIC ENERGY CORPORATIONInventor: George Gitschel

Patent number: 9700896Abstract: Described are methods for processing mixed solid waste. The method includes providing a mixed solid waste stream including dry organic material comingled with wet organic and/or inorganic material. The mixed waste is shredded and then separated using size separation and density separation. The shredder has a cut size and rotation speed that produces less than 20% by mass of particles smaller than 2 inches from the mixed solid waste. The shredded mix solid waste is then separated by density and a portion of the stream is recovered as a recyclable or converted to a high value product.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2014Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: ORGANIC ENERGY CORPORATIONInventor: George K. Gitschel

Patent number: 9650650Abstract: Solid waste that includes a mixture of wet organic material and dry organic material can be are separated using mechanical separation to produce a wet organic stream enriched in wet organics and a dry organic stream enriched in dry organics. The separated wet organic stream and dry organic stream are separately converted to renewable or recyclable products using different conversion techniques particularly suited for the separated wet and dry organic streams.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: ORGANIC ENERGY CORPORATIONInventor: George Gitschel

Patent number: 9061289Abstract: Methods and systems for separating a mixed waste into a wet organic fraction, a dry organic fraction, and an inorganic fraction are achieved by (i) comminuting the mixed solid waste, (ii) fractionating the comminuted stream by size to produce two or more particle-sized waste streams, and (iii) processing one or more of the particle-sized waste streams using density separation to produce an intermediate wastes stream, and (iv) recovering a homogenous product (e.g., a recyclable material or an organic fuel) from the intermediate waste stream.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: ORGANIC ENERGY CORPORATIONInventor: George Gitschel
