Abstract: A drying apparatus of porous material includes a reduced-pressure fermentation dryer configured to: store porous material containing water in an airtight container; heat and stir the porous material under reduced pressure so that a temperature of the porous material is within a predetermined temperature range; feed microorganisms into the airtight container so that the microorganisms enter pores of the porous material; and evaporate the water contained in the porous material by fermentation heat by the microorganisms so as to dry the porous material.
Abstract: An oil sludge treatment system includes: a reduced-pressure fermentation dryer; a filtration apparatus; and a cleaner. The reduced-pressure fermentation dryer is configured to: store oil sludge in an airtight container; heat and stir the oil sludge under reduced pressure so that a temperature of the oil sludge is within a predetermined temperature range; decompose organic matter contained in the oil sludge using microorganisms while evaporating water; and obtain volume-reduced dried product. The filtration apparatus filters oil from the dried product. The cleaner cleans, by steam, the dried product from which the oil has been filtered.
Abstract: A system for treating excrement of livestock includes: reduced-pressure fermentation drying equipment configured to store excrement of livestock in an airtight container, heat and stir the excrement of livestock under reduced pressure so that a temperature of the excrement of livestock is within a predetermined temperature range, decompose organic components of organic matter using microorganisms, and obtain volume-reduced dried product; and heat source equipment that is provided on a downstream side of the reduced-pressure fermentation drying equipment and generates a heat source by combusting the obtained volume-reduced dried product.
Abstract: Boiler equipment includes: a combustion device including a combustion chamber to combust fuel supplied to the combustion device; a combustion furnace including a combustion chamber formed inside thereof; and a heat exchanger transferring thermal energy obtained by combustion of the fuel in the combustion device to water. The combustion device is directly connected to a wall part of the combustion furnace such that the combustion chamber of the combustion device faces the combustion chamber of the combustion furnace. The fuel is efficiently combusted in the combustion chambers of the combustion device and the combustion furnace, which are integrated with each other. Thus, almost no ash is generated.
