  2. Waste converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_converter

    A waste converter is a machine used for the treatment and recycling of solid and liquid refuse material. A converter is a self-contained system capable of performing the following functions: pasteurization of organic waste; sterilization of pathogenic or biohazard waste; grinding and pulverization of refuse into unrecognizable output; trash compaction; dehydration.

  3. Mechanical biological treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_biological...

    A mechanical biological treatment (MBT) system is a type of waste processing facility that combines a sorting facility with a form of biological treatment such as composting or anaerobic digestion. MBT plants are designed to process mixed household waste as well as commercial and industrial wastes .

  4. Aerobic digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_digestion

    Aerobic digestion is a process in sewage treatment designed to reduce the volume of sewage sludge and make it suitable [1] for subsequent use. [2] More recently, technology has been developed that allows the treatment and reduction of other [3] organic waste, such as food, cardboard and horticultural waste.

  5. Daily cover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_cover

    The daily cover on an operational landfill site is the layer of compressed soil or earth which is laid on top of a day's deposition of waste. Benefits of using daily cover include: [1] Reduction of odor and air emissions; Control of disease vectors (birds, insects, and rodents) Improved surface stability for landfill vehicles; Control of litter

  6. Biofilter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilter

    Common uses include processing waste water, capturing harmful chemicals or silt from surface runoff, and microbiotic oxidation of contaminants in air. Industrial biofiltration can be classified as the process of utilizing biological oxidation to remove volatile organic compounds, odors, and hydrocarbons.

  7. Odorizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odorizer

    The Peerless odorizer was the first example of this type of odorizer. The Peerless natural-gas odorizer was recognized as a Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1992. [2] This odorizer was said to have been developed in response to the New London School explosion that occurred in March 1937.

  8. Waste management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_management

    Waste management or waste disposal includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. [1] This includes the collection , transport , treatment , and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process and waste-related laws , technologies, and economic ...

  9. Machine olfaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_olfaction

    A simple algorithm that can be used for location estimation is the triangulation method (Figure 2). Consider the odor detection equation above, the position of the odor source can be estimated by organizing sensor distances on one side of the equation and ignoring the noise. The source position can be estimated using the following equations:
