Patent ID: 7267762

Claim:
A biomass treatment system, comprising; at least one tube having an inlet, an outlet, and a first bore being defined by a curvilinear surface and a longitudinal axis; a waste stream being communicated from a waste source to said inlet of at least one tube; a plurality of conductors each having a first surface and a connection bore, and said plurality of conductors being disposed in said inner shell and being generally in engagement with said first bore; a plurality of insulation members each having a pair of end portions and an intermediate portion and being disposed in said inner shell and generally in engagement with said first bore, said intermediate portion defines a second surface, one of said pair of end portions being in mating engagement with said connection portion of one of said plurality of conductors, and another of said pair of end portions being in mating engagement with said connection portion of another of said plurality of conductors; a channel having a pair of side walls being formed by said first surface, said second surface, and a pair of arcuate portions of said first bore, said channel adapted to pass said fluid through said inner shell; a power source; a pump adapted to communicate said waste stream over at least a portion of said plurality of conductors, said waste stream having a conductive characteristic enabling electrical communication between a pair of said plurality of conductors, and said pump having a first predetermined flow rate; and a control box having an amp meter adapted to measure a magnitude of electrical current at said pair of plurality of conductors, at least one phase controller adapted to vary said magnitude of electrical current, and at least one pump controller adapted to vary said first predetermined flow rate based on said magnitude of electrical current.
