  • Patent number: 11078659
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sewage pit (1, 60) for receiving and discharging waste material, particularly domestic, medical and/or industrial waste comprising liquid and solid constituents, to the sewer (52), the sewage pit comprising: —a housing (2, 3, 4) with a closable receiving space (9), wherein one or more of the walls of the housing is provided with at least one inlet (19) configured to carry the waste material into the receiving space, a flushing liquid feed (10) which is embodied to feed flushing liquid to the receiving space for bringing the waste material into suspension, and at least one outlet (29) which can be connected to the sewer and is configured to discharge the mixture of waste material and flushing liquid from the receiving space and to the sewer, —at least one pump (25, 26) connectable or connected to the one or more outlets which is configured to pump the mixture which has been brought into suspension from the receiving space and to discharge the mixture via the one or more outlets.

  • Publication number: 20150102140
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for shredding a waste flow with solid constituents, the method comprising of: carrying the waste flow to a shredding device, the shredding device comprising a receiving space inside a housing, wherein a shredding unit with at least one shredding element is arranged in the housing; immersing the shredding element into the waste flow carried into the receiving space; shredding the solid constituents of the waste flow with the shredding element in the immersed state; discharging the waste flow from the housing. The invention also relates to a shredding device in which a shredding element is immersed during operation.

  • Patent number: 8394274
    Abstract: Method and system for treating a waste stream. The waste is presented in containers, such as chamber pots and other containers for liquid and other kinds of waste. such waste can be supplied at different locations and is immediately comminuted. In a separating stage, the waste stream is separated into container material and actual waste. Actual waste is fed to a bioreactor where the water is purified so that it may be re-used, if desired. If biodegradable, the container material may be subjected to a fermentation step. Heat and gases released in the process may be used for heating the fermenter and/or generating power. It is also possible to feed kitchen waste, which may optionally have been comminuted, to the fermentation. The stream leaving the fermentation may be separated into hard components which are filtered off and composted and into softer components which can be fed to the purification installation.

  • Publication number: 20060091148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable foot for setting up equipment in alignment. The adjustable foot comprises an annular element provided with an axial bore with internal screw thread. The adjustable foot furthermore comprises a shaft element provided with external screw thread matching the internal screw thread. When screwed into the bore, this shaft element can be adjusted in the axial direction with respect to the annular element by turning with respect to the annular element. The adjustable foot furthermore comprises a support part, provided on the annular element or shaft element as well as a washer. The washer and the support part are each provided with a convex respectively concave surface having essentially the same radius of curvature, such that the angle of the washer with respect to the support part can be adjusted. According to the invention the top surface of the annular element is made to slope downwards in the radially outward direction.
