Patent NZ-525181-A (NZ)
Title: Method and apparatus for the treatment of waste
Inventor: TRY NICHOLAS VICTOR
IPC: C05F17/00
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) is shown for a treatment and conversion process to convert a feed material (12) of biodegradable waste and/or organic matter into products such as soil conditioners, fertilizers, animal fodder and biomass. The apparatus includes a heating vessel in the form of stirred tank (14) for heat-treating the feed material (12) and a treatment chamber in the form of worm bed (16) where the heat-treated material (18) is then treated by a vermiculture process to convert the heat-treated material (18) into the products. The heat treatment stage functions to sterilize and kill pathogens and germinaceous matter such as seeds and weeds found in feed material (12) while substantially preserving the feed content for the subsequent vermiculture step and the preferred embodiment involves adding steam to an aqueous pulp of the feed materials (12). The vermiculture step then involves the use of several varieties of worms to consume all or part of the heat-treated material (18) in an environment where the conditions of life of the worms are optimized for breeding. The worm cast harvesting system using a wire cutter can cleanly slice or shave the worm cast product in a plane parallel to the bed base as the cutter device (59) is drawn along the underside of the bed in one direction, without disturbing the structure of the cast located within the bed and reducing the incidence of any untreated feed and worms being dislodged, a common problem found in the more intrusive prior art cast harvesting devices.
