total and fecal coliform bacteria. The effluent is now ready for surface or sub-surface discharge <br /> (5). <br /> Once a week, the sludge pump is pumping sludge (3) from the bottom of the first compartment <br /> to the Thermal Processor to control the build-up of sludge (dead biomass) in the system. The <br /> sludge is filtered through a stainless steel perforated shelf inside the Thermal Processor and the <br /> water (4) drains back to the first compartment. After a set number of pump cycles a sludge cake <br /> is formed on the shelf, at that time the control system initiates the thermal decomposition cycle, <br /> which includes drying, heating, gasification and pyrolysis of the sludge at controlled temperatures. <br /> The controlled temperatures in combination with forced air results in minimum emissions. <br /> r. <br /> The exhaust gas (7) is forced back into the water in the first compartment which further scrubs <br /> the gases to remove any remaining particulates, gas products, and potential odor before it is <br /> vented together with the air in the tank through the normal vent at the roof of the house. The ash <br /> is flushed out with the wastewater (4) and leaves the system as dissolved and suspended solids <br /> as shown in the mass balance. <br /> The EnviroServer System is controlled by a custom computer control system. The computer is <br /> capable of detecting failures of electrical and mechanical components critical to the treatment <br /> processes and delivering signals both remotely via a modem connection and locally with a visible <br /> and audible alarm. <br /> Table 1 and 2 shows the material balances for the EnviroServer system based on the streams <br /> shown in Figure 1. Table 3 identifies the resource usage for the system. <br /> 04/08/2000 <br />
