  • Process for preparation of animal feed from food waste
    Patent number: 6534105
    Abstract: A process for preparing a protein-rich animal feed from waste food is described, wherein the food is cooked with steam, minced, dried, sterilized with radio waves, and put in condition to serve as a feed for protein-producing animals for human consumption.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2001
    Date of Patent: March 18, 2003
    Assignee: Food Development Corporation
    Inventor: Henry H. Kartchner
  • Process for recovering feed-grade protein from animal manure
    Patent number: 6524632
    Abstract: A process is described for recovering the protein values from animal manure, particularly cattle, pigs and poultry, for reuse as animal feed. The process involves the use of an anaerobic digester to provide methane gas for combustion and use for heating and powering the facility including a radio wave generator for sterilizing the protein and solids being recovered for the feed. Returning the water to the environment in accordance with EPA regulations.
    Type: Grant

  • Radio frequency microwave energy applicator apparatus to break oil and water emulsion
    Patent number: 6086830
    Abstract: A microwave applicator to effectively break hydrocarbon and water emulsions with radio frequency energy. A stream of hydrocarbon and water emulsion is pumped into a multimode resonant reentrant microwave cavity. Dual opposing emulsion flow chambers with a centrally supplied microwave waveguide form a double ended resonant chamber with multiple RF energy reflections to effectively treat the flowing emulsion. The emulsified feedstock enters into the bottoms of both flow chambers and exits to a centrifuge or storage for separation.
