  • Patent number: 10449580
    Abstract: Herein proposed is a device (45) with a first module (10) for the production of a heterogeneous mixture of FORSU which, after the removal of the most coarse inerts, is dropped—by gravity—in an underlying second module (46), in which along the three chambers (47, 52, 54) in succession to the heterogeneous mixture of FORSU there are collected the further residue coarse inerts as well as the finest and heaviest inerts and there is obtained a mixture with matrix homogenised substantially in the liquid state and thus dischargeable by pumping reliably. In the device (45) the first module (10) is mounted on the underlying second module (46) through the interposition of load cells (59). With the proposed device the FORSU in the liquid state may be pumped directly in an anaerobic digestor thus avoiding an intermediate transport thereof.

  • Patent number: 10399088
    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.

  • Patent number: 9961923
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for preparing micro-ingredient feed additives for use in designated feed rations. A micro-ingredient system of the invention includes a plurality of bins that store designated micro-ingredients therein. A master controller of the delivery system provides signals to control system components based on programmed commands corresponding to micro-ingredient batches to be prepared. Slide gate mechanisms are used to prevent loss of micro-ingredients delivered to a receiving receptacle of the system. During delivery of the micro-ingredients to the receptacle and during processing, the micro-ingredients can become airborne and subsequently lost. The slide gate mechanisms also provide controlled access to the receiving receptacle to prevent system errors such as contamination of ingredients in the receptacle, or improper batching of a prescribed micro-ingredient mixture to be delivered to a designated feed ration.
