Patent ID: 7316188

Claim:
A dedensification and delivery unit, comprising: a dedensification housing for separating a densified alternative fuel source into its component parts to form a dedensified alternative fuel source, wherein the dedensification housing holds a plurality of augers; and a post-dedensification processing housing comprising: a compression area for holding the dedensified alternative fuel source, wherein the compression area comprises a compression tank, wherein the plurality of augers feed the dedensified alternative fuel source directly into the compression tank; a refining area for further shaping a size of the dedensified alternative fuel source to form a refined alternative fuel source, wherein the refining area comprises a plurality of chippers aligned in series such that each subsequent chipper shreds the dedensified alternative fuel source into smaller parts than the immediately preceding chipper, and wherein the dedensified alternative fuel source is fed from the compression tank into a first chipper of the plurality of chippers; and a delivery area for delivering the refined alternative fuel source into a burner; wherein the dedensification housing and the post-dedensification processing housing directly abut each other such that the dedensified alternative fuel source is directly fed from the dedensification housing into the compression area of the post-dedensification processing housing.
