  • Publication number: 20050029174
    Abstract: The Hybrid MHD-FSU (Field Sanitation Unit) innovation is a self-contained sewage treatment plant that fully converts sewage/wastewater into (1) solid organic material, (2) potable, pathogen-free drinking water, and (3) generates electricity. At a high level, the system consists of four main components: (1) Mixer, (2) MHD Reactor, (3) Filter, and (4) Turbine. The innovation presents a stand-alone compact configuration of typical wastewater treatment components (equalization & mixing, process treatment, filtration) that are combined with the customized MHD reactor to perform the waste treatment/water recovery processing. The Hybrid magnetohydrodynamo (MHD) Field Sanitation Unit has the ability (1) to recover an organic material (2) to recover a pathogen free, clean potable drinking water, and (3) to generate electricity using wastewater as the conductive medium. The invention also relates a core heating microwave source coupled to an outer rigid mantle boundary that compose an MHD electrode pair.
