  • Publication number: 20170203987
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for a food loading station having a disposer that grinds food waste that is located at a facility that processes food waste. A storage tank receives a slurry of food waste and water from the disposer. A controller is connected to the disposer and in communication with a scale that senses a weight of the food waste before grinding by the disposer. A remote module is in communication with the controller, receives the sensed weight of the food waste, and calculates, based on the sensed weight, a total amount of the food waste ground by the disposer and received by the storage tank over a predetermined time period. A terminal associated with the facility and connected to the remote module receives a report that includes diverted food waste data for the predetermined time period corresponding to the total amount of food waste.

  • Publication number: 20170197857
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for a food loading station having a disposer that grinds food waste that is located at a facility that processes food waste. A storage tank receives a slurry of food waste and water from the disposer for storage until the slurry is collected for transportation to an anaerobic digestion facility. An agitator is installed in the storage tank for mixing the slurry stored in the storage tank prior to collection for transportation to the anaerobic digestion facility. A discharge outlet is installed on the storage tank for connection to a discharge hose of a collection truck. The discharge outlet has an air admittance valve for admitting ambient air into the discharge hose while the slurry is sucked out of the storage tank through the discharge hose and into the collection truck.
