Method for treating organic and inorganic waste material

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Fibrous material having utility in the production of numerous and differing products is produced from refuse by a continuous process after separation and removal of undesirable constituents such as dirt, glass, ferrous and non-ferrous metals from the refuse. Individual remaining particles are then reduced in size and suspended in a water slurry. The slurry is then subjected to centrifugal acceleration to remove any glass, metallic, or other relatively dense particles that may remain therein. The resulting slurry is sterilized by continuous cooking to thermally destroy all major pathogens and/or parasitic organisms. The solids content is then increased and additives introduced into and mixed …
