Description

DESCRIPTION

Of the Industrial Invention entitled: SYSTEM OF IDENTIFICATION, REDUCTION AND DISPOSAL OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE.

STATE BEFORE THE TECHNIQUE: Before the implementation of the system for the identification, reduction and differentiated disposal of municipal solid waste, the waste was disposed of in an undifferentiated manner without being identified and reduced in volume at the source.

GOAL THAT INNOVATION INTENDS TO REACH: The goal that innovation intends to achieve is to identify (through a chemical recognition system) and reduce (through a shredding and / or compaction system) all waste urban solids directly from production sources making them flow, in a differentiated manner, to recycling sites (about 80%) and to landfill sites (about 20%). With the implementation of the procedure, the waste problem is considerably reduced as, upstream directly in the waste production areas, a reduction of about 24 times is applied, also guaranteeing a clear and certain separation of the following materials: Glass, plastic (divided in turn into Pet, Pp, Pe), paper, metals, organic (about 80%) and various materials (about 20% undifferentiated)

This project provides for the differentiated disposal of municipal solid waste directly from users (homes, schools, offices, hospitals, etc.) or from public or private outdoor places through the use of a VR (waste compartment) which can be PRIVATE (if inserted inside a private structure e.g. home), CONDOM1N 1 ALE (if inserted in common spaces e.g. stairwell etc.), PUBLIC (if inserted on public land e.g. streets, squares etc.).

Initially we start from a correct and systematic selection of waste by the user who has a waste compartment inside his home (equipped with an electronic system which, according to the chemical composition, identifies, recognizes and differentiates the various materials to be dispose of) by selecting: Paper - Plastic - (PET - PS - PP) Glass, Metals, Organic, Other.

The same procedure takes place through condominium or public disposers. Once the materials to be disposed of are identified, they are immediately accepted and shredded or compacted in order to reduce their volume and facilitate their transport (through suitable pipes to the first storage sites, located near the structure or structures to be served.

From the first storage sites, the materials previously separated and reduced in volume can follow two different paths:

1. Manual

2. Automated

MANUAL PATH:

Paper - Plastic (PET - PV - PE) Glass - Metals - Organic - Other

about 80% of the total waste produced is transported by suitable means to the various recycling sites, while the various materials (other) about 20% of the total waste produced are transported to the disposal or landfill sites.

AUTOMATED ROUTE:

In the automated path, the waste is transported in underground pipelines, thanks to a compressed air suction system, at a transport speed of about 70 km / h.

The disposal of such waste would be even easier, faster and cheaper if the industries producing the various materials being disposed of (containers, wraps, paper, etc.) in the future provided their products with special molecular bar codes in order to identify easily both the materials as originally made (eg glass bottle, cardboard box, can, etc.) and their portions (eg broken bottle etc.).

PRIVATE PLANT

(INSERTED INSIDE A PRIVATE STRUCTURE)

the

In the case of a private structure, the project envisages the insertion inside the apartment of an additional service compartment to the existing ones, VR (Waste compartment).

Inside the VR we will have on one side the sensor column and on the other the disposal modules (table 1),

At the entrance to the VR, the element to be disposed of will be placed near the sensor (table 2) which will recognize its chemical composition, opening the corresponding disposal module (table 3).

Example: in the case of a glass bottle, placed next to the sensor, after recognizing its nature it will activate the opening of the corresponding module, once the door has been inserted it will close, the system will check for the presence of other elements other than glass, like a metal cap, through a scanner.

In the event of an incorrect operation, the object will be retained in the disposal module, which will remain inactive and with a red light on until the object is removed; if the operation is correct, the bottle will be acquired and through a collector it will pass to the compartment below where it will be shredded (table 4) and by means of a special pipe it will be sent to the end of the building (table 5) or outside, until it reaches the terminal of glass collection (table 6).

From the collection terminal, through a special union (table 7) all the contents will be removed with suitable trucks (table 8) and transported for recycling or waste or, through underground transport lines fed by a pneumatic suction system, will be transported to the sites recycling or waste (table 9).

All the materials introduced will be accounted for by counters that will assign a score for each category of waste. /

CONDOMINIUM SYSTEM

The condominium system will be built in those buildings where costs are to be contained and even more frequently in existing buildings.

The condominium VR can be positioned on each floor, even better (especially from the economic side) at the end of the building or in the case of several buildings, which are part of a single residence, in an easily accessible external point.

In the case of condominium VR, access will be allowed by inserting a special CARD, which, in addition to allowing the compartment to be opened, will identify the user, start the system and load the relevant points.

The rest of the operation is similar to that of private VR.

PUBLIC SYSTEM

As far as the identification and point loading system is concerned, the public system functions identical to that of the condominium system.

The external aspect of regret is pleasant and fits well in all contexts (table 10),

The front is used as a rest or relaxation area (Plate 10)

On the back there is a regret made up of sensors for card insertion and material recognition (table 11).

In the public system, unlike the previous ones, in the event of an error, the object will not be rejected, but acquired and sent in special containers, awaiting removal by the competent ecological operator.

In the event of an error by a user without a CARD, this will be identified by special cameras.

Once the operation is completed, all three systems can be emptied through manual withdrawals or through transfer

Claims (5)

CLAIMS 1. System of identification, reduction and disposal of municipal solid waste, characterized by the fact of including: - a series of waste entry forms; each module being closed respectively by a door; - a system for recognizing the materials to be disposed of and for activating the opening / closing of the corresponding waste entry form; said recognition / activation system being arranged in proximity to the waste input modules and consisting of at least one sensor; - a control system for the materials to be disposed of, located inside each waste entry form, to check if the materials entered in the form all correspond to the type of material that this form is intended to receive; - a series of shredding / compaction compartments, arranged in correspondence with communication below the waste input modules; said compartments being suitable for shredding / compacting the materials to be disposed of; - a series of waste collection terminals, connected to the respective shredding / compaction compartments, the contents of which, through a transport system, are transferred to the recycling or disposal sites. 2.
