  • Publication number: 20060053684
    Abstract: A blending of sludge, grease and/or fats extracted from wastewater with biomass leftovers to form a fuel. The biomass leftovers may be pulverulent wood charcoal, pulverulent cellulose, vegetable oil, vegetable alcohol or any combination. The sludge, grease and fats are extracted while cleansing the wastewater of contaminants. The fuel may be burned to produce heat to drive a steam turbine. The cleansed water may flow to drive a water turbine. If a current population of bacteria cannot be sustained by the amount of contaminants in fresh supplies of the wastewater alone at a particular time, the previously extracted sludge may be used to supplement to help sustain the bacteria population. Likewise, when the amount of contaminants in fresh supplies of the wastewater exceeds what is necessary for the current population of bacteria to sustain itself, such excess may be extracted for use later or blended to form the fuel.

  • Publication number: 20050055873
    Abstract: An organically clean biomass fuel formed of mixture of a powder, which may be either dried, cellulosic product, wood charcoal powder, and/or a combination of the two, and a fluid, which may be vegetable oil, vegetable alcohol or a combination of the two. A centrifugal machine dries moist, cellulosic product and extracts black liquor. A grinder transforms the dried, cellulosic product into powder. Gum may be extracted from the vegetable oil or vegetable alcohol. A batch mixer or vibrating vessel mixes the powder and the fluid together; the fluid moisturizes the powder. Depending upon the relative amount of the fluid as compared to powder, the mixture will either be in a liquid cream state or a doughy state. If the latter, the mixture may be pressed into briquettes or ingots.
