  • Waste recovery, conversion, and utilization
    Patent number: 9174883
    Abstract: Food waste streams may be managed efficiently with a waste-processing facility, which in some embodiments may be co-locating a food distribution facility. The waste processing facility includes a pulper fluidly connected to an input configured to receive a heterogeneous waste stream including biodegradable and non-biodegradable components, the pulper configured to mechanically de-fiber the biodegradable component and form a de-fibered biodegradable material, and an anaerobic membrane bioreactor fluidly connected downstream of the pulper and configured to produce biogas and anaerobic effluent from the de-fibered biodegradable material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 16, 2010
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2015
    Assignee: FEED RESOURCE RECOVERY, INC.
