Design and Performance Analysis of Heat Melt Refuse Compactor System for Solid Waste with E-Control Contaminant Removal Mechanism
As a technology, a Heat Melt Refuse Compactor (HMRC) has been developed to process municipal solid waste and convert it into tiles and other on-site products. The HMRC compact the solid waste, heats the solid waste to 200 °C, sterilizes the solid waste, and recovers the water from the solid waste. The heating causes volatile contaminants to be released from the solid waste, and these contaminants can be vented into the air. Design and testing were evaluated for the refuse compactor, solid waste processing, tile compaction, water recovery, and gas sampling analysis. HMRC testing demonstrated water recovery of over 99%, waste volume reduction of over 80%, tiles stabilization for long-term storage, passive separation of liquid/gas phases, and operations with a simple-to-use low maintenance system.The heat melt refuse compactor is designed to compress and encapsulate the waste products, bi-product, and other gaseous products to provide solid waste volume reduction, microbial stabilization, and recovery of residual gas, including water from the solid waste via the heating and compaction process. The model design shows the benefits of using a heat melt refuse compactor on-site by converting the solid waste into valuable products with thermal and compression techniques. HMRC model has processed ~1300 kg of solid waste, provided ~700 kg of tiles, recovered ~400 kg of water, and 200 kg of gaseous and residual waste. The HMRC ground-based has been designed to function within the physical and environmental constraints with the E-control contaminant removal mechanism
