Improved aeration system for composting organic matter

In the biological treatment of organic matter for the purpose of producing compost, soil amendments or bio-fuel it is known that in order to ensure aerobic conditions during the entire treatment process air has to be channeled through the organics to provide for a sufficient oxygen level and to remove excess heat. It is also known that during the bio-chemical breakdown of the cell-structure of the organics moisture is released, which has to be removed to prevent parts of the organics turning into an un-aerobic process stage. The present invention provides a means to aerate organic matter and to collect and remove liquid from organic matter via a specifically designed channel. The channel contains a pipe comprising multiple orifices for air distribution or removal. The top of the channel is closed with a removable perforated cover. One or more than one channel combined to a series form an aeration system. The channels of an aeration system are integrated into the floor of a bin-type reactor and connected via pipes to a manifold outside the reactor for air distribution or removal. These pipes are also connected to the liquid collection and removal system comprised of a pipe outside the reactor, which directs collected liquid to storage or treatment tanks. Airflow in the channels, pipes and manifold is maintained by an air distribution system comprised of an exhauster/blower and regulated by means of dampers or valves. All process air is exhausted via a biologically active filter material in a bio-filter bed for odor control purposes. All liquid is collected and processed.

A method for operating a bale opening machine (1) includes the step of defining a desired normal or operational take-off depth for the take-off device or extraction member (6) to be applied to all of the bales (7) of the bale lie. An actual take-off depth is computed for predetermined positions along the bale line as a function of the normal take-off depth and factors computed for the respective positions to take into account bale height differences and density differences between the bales. With respect to the bale height differences (4MAX-aMIN), the take-off factors have a proportional value based on a bale height at the respective positions compared to a total bale height difference between the highest and lowest bales. A total bale height is recomputed prior to each pass of the take-off device and the actual take-off depth factors are set to a value of 1 if the computed total bale height difference is reduced to at least the magnitude of the normal take-off depth. The bale density factors are applied simultaneously with the height take-off factors and are computed based on a percentage of bale height and a perceived density characteristic of each bale.

Straight edge circle tool

The tool is formed of an elongate rigid bar having a pair of straight side edges extending between opposite ends. Indicia are provided adjacent graduations correlating with distances away from center holes located at each end of the bar. A series of marking holes are provided at various distances away from the center holes. Thus, when a pin is provided through one center hole, a marking tool can be placed within a marking hole having a distance corresponding with a radius of a curve to be formed, and the bar can be rotated about the pin in the center hole while the marker is allowed to form a mark in an underlying workpiece. The straight edges of the tool can also be utilized for forming straight edges.

Method and process equipment to volume reduce expanded polystyrene

Expanded polystyrene is in commercial use since more than 50 years. During this period the unique properties of the material lead to the utilisation of expanded polystyrene within a vast range of industrial and commercial areas. The most noticeable properties are light-weight, high--volume, high thermal energy insulation factors, excellent shock absorption and close to unlimited formability. The continuously increasing amount of end of life expanded polystyrene resulting from its wide range of applications is leading progressively to challenges in waste disposal facilities. Especially high tech landfills face the loss of large amounts of expensive disposal space due to the high volume and low weight properties of the material, which is not or only minimal compactable with on-site compaction methods. Adding to this challenge is the requirement to dispose of the end of life expanded polystyrene close to the point of generation because the light-weight high-volume properties do not allow the transportation over longer distances, preventing the shipment to centralised recovery and recycling facilities. The invention provides a method to volume reduce expanded polystyrene, especially the end of life expanded polystyrene at the point of generation or close to it by introducing a volume reduction method and utilising mechanical process equipment, which is designed to reduce the volume of the expanded polystyrene to the original volume before expansion. The mechanical process equipment is designed and build in such a way that clean or soiled, spent expanded polystyrene can be introduced into the process equipment were it is dissolved and homogenised by means of industrial solvent. A mechanical, gravity based cleaning and contaminant separation process to purify the volume reduced paste like liquid mixture is part of the invention. The volume reduced paste like liquid mixture resulting from the process can be shipped cost effective to a centralised recovery and recycling ...
