Claim 0:
1. A system for reducing an average particle size of waste solids, comprising:
a vessel configured to receive a waste stream through a one-way inlet, the one way inlet configured to allow the waste stream into the vessel and prevent backflow, wherein the waste stream comprises waste solids and water;
a device in a bottom portion of the vessel configured to receive the waste stream and comminute the waste solids;
means for detecting that the average particle size of the waste solids is reduced below a size threshold, wherein the means for detecting comprises a controller and an amp meter,
a recirculating pump configured to recirculate the waste stream under pressure through the device until the average particle size of the waste solids is reduced below the size threshold, resulting in a treated waste stream with sized waste solids, and
wherein the means for detecting comprises a controller and an amp meter, wherein the amp meter is configured to measure a current draw of the recirculating pump and transmit the current draw to the controller, wherein the controller is configured to detect a drop in the current draw, said drop indicating to the controller that the average particle size of the waste solids is reduced below the size threshold.
