  • Patent number: 4193869
    Abstract: A system and method for processing wastewaters, domestic, industrial or otherwise, including producing a substantially sterile and recyclable organic material from the effluent wastewaters, and for producing at the same time a substantially sterile and recyclable organic material from solid matter in the wastewaters. The process system is complete as to separation of solids and liquid and as to the processing of both liquid and solid phases. The liquid phase may be used for agricultural purposes or passed to a unit from which only pure water is dispersed by evaporation and transpiration to the atmosphere while dissolved and nondissolved solid matter is decomposed. The solids separated by the system are dewatered by expressing the water therefrom, the solids then being bagged in loose form or pressed into solid blocks which may be stored on a pallet. This part of the process may be accomplished by rollers, presses, and/or microwave drying.
