Patent ID: 7128880

Claim:
A system for treating low analysis organic waste material to form a nutritional composition for plants comprising: a reactor selected from the group consisting of a pipe-cross reactor or a tubular reactor, said reactor configured to receive a slurry, a base, and an acid, and configured to give thorough mixing and retention time to allow substantial completion of an exothermic reaction between said slurry, base, and acid and effect formation of a melt there from while flowing through said reactor wherein the reactor contains an orifice plate that introduces turbulence to the slurry; a granulator positioned to receive the melt from an outlet of said reactor, said granulator being configured to mix fine particles with the melt to form granulated particles and further react the melt with ammonia to complete the product formation reaction; a dryer configured to receive the granulated particles from said granulator wherein the granulated particles are dried to reduce the moisture content thereof, and form substantially dried granulated particles; a granule separator configured to receive the substantially dried granulated particles from said dryer and separate the substantially dried granulated particles into fines, product and oversized particles; and an oxidizer configured to receive and oxidize fumes formed during the exothermic reaction and the reduction of moisture thereby reducing odors associated with the fumes.
