thermal depolymerization
Sorry, I actually included all spectrum's of garbage, including that kind of waste.
After all what do you think happens to a large percentage of sugars you take in.
And any solution I would look at would include one for the dog droppings.
Someone long ago told me dog droppings are not good for anything, not even decent compost.
I think everything we discard of in some way can be turned into fuel.
The question is exactly how?
No way killivolt.
Out where we live the water is so bad, maybe that will boost your immune system too. When you have a shower, you turn to paper immediately afterwords.
I think what I'll do is to start off with a system that can accept poop, and other household through-a-ways, like food stuff, and see whether I can turn that to fuel, at least I would not need to spend to much energy turning heavy solids to liquid. The system should be a bit cheaper to build a well, as I will not work with too high pressure. My first attempt would be to get to ethanol fuel. I'm just worried about the water used, ours is so heavy on calcium carbonate, that might stuff my chemistry around.
There is a company in Philidelphia, wherever that is, that uses all the offcuts (beaks, bones, guts, etc.) from a turkey producing farm to make fuel. They are talking of producing ethanol for possibly under $1 per gallon, if that's not sales talk.
The company has two plants, the first was a pilot plant somewhere else, just to prove their theory.
Check out "Changing World Technologies" that should lead you to some information regarding them.
They work closely with ConAgra Foods for the turkey bi-product to be sourced as their main feedstock for fuel, but according to them can turn anything into an oil similar to diesel. Plastic is a good source, according to them, but it's because plastics are mostly made from oil.
The process is reversed to get it(plastic, etc.) back to oil.
Thermal depolymerization is largely based on the age old technique/process called hydrous pyrolysis to break something down to a more basic molecular state, in this case short-chain hydro-carbon fuel.
I posted a thread about that nearly a couple of years ago.Then there is the issue of thermal depolymerization. There is that story about the chaps with the turkey guts, etc. This is a hot topic, but there are indications that it's not all cracked up to be, anyone seen the system in action?
