Patent number: 11796096Abstract: The techniques introduced here include a system and method for efficiently connecting two or more pipes through the combination of a pushing plate, a gasket and a sealing plate. Such techniques exploit the presence of concentric protuberances, or rings, on the sealing plate that help, also thanks to the space between them, in keeping the cleanness, tightness and flexibility of the conjunction, especially when sticky substances, like a sludge, are dealt with.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2018Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: BIOFORCE TECH CORPORATIONInventors: Dario Presezzi, Valentino Villa, Marco Mosciarello, Stefano Pessina, Mattia Bonfanti

Patent number: 11345859Abstract: A system and method for performing pyrolysis comprises a reactor through which organic material is conveyed from an upstream end toward a downstream end and within which said pyrolysis will occur; a combustion chamber fluidically connected to the downstream end of the reactor; an output pipe fluidically connected to the downstream end of the reactor; a capsule surrounding a first part of the reactor and into an internal portion of which heated thermal fluids are disposed for heating the first part of said reactor; and a plurality of electrical resistors disposed around a second part of the reactor for heating the second part of the reactor; whereby, as a result of the pyrolysis occurring within the reactor, the syngas is conducted toward the combustion chamber while the carbonized material is conducted outwardly from the reactor through the output pipe.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: BIOFORCE TECH CORPORATIONInventors: Dario Presezzi, Valentino Villa, Marco Mosciarello, Stefano Pessina, Mattia Bonfanti

Patent number: 11299678Abstract: The techniques introduced here include a system and method for efficiently, and in some embodiments automatically, processing solid organic waste. In both the method and the system the solid organic waste is injected into a rotating, thermally isolable, container with internal sensors that help in keeping humidity and temperature within given parameters, before the resulting dried solid organic waste is sent to a pyrolysis chamber and its exhausts are sent to filter. In some embodiments, inert material in the form of dried solid organic waste is left in the container in order to make the process even more efficient and system and process are made automatic and remotely controllable through the use of software automation and a web of internal and external sensors.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Inventors: Dario Presezzi, Valentino Villa, Marco Mosciarello, Stefano Pessina, Mattia Bonfanti
