FIELD: processing and recycling of waste.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to multifunctional systems, equipment and appropriate methods for processing fecal matter and food waste. Multifunctional waste processing system for generating electricity and drinking water comprises a first stage of a fuel drying unit including a first pressurized container for containing sludge containing water and solids, second pressure vessel adjacent to the first pressure vessel for receiving a high-temperature exhaust steam isolated from the sludge that heats and partially dries sludge and generates primary sludge water in the vapor phase and compacted sludge, a second stage of the fuel drying unit including a third pressure vessel for receiving the compacted sludge, and a fourth pressurized container adjacent to the third inner drying vessel and adapted to receive and contain the primary sludge water in the vapor phase, that the primary silt water in the vapor phase is separated from the compacted sludge and heats and dries the compacted sludge, to obtain secondary sludge water in the vapor phase and dried solid fuel material, at least a portion of the primary sludge water is condensed into a liquid phase, a water treatment system that receives primary and secondary sludge water in either the vapor or liquid phase or in both phases, water treatment system having a condenser, a purification device and a filter, wherein the primary or secondary water in the vapor phase is condensed and primary or secondary sludge in the liquid phase is purified and filtered to produce drinking water, combustion chamber assembly for burning the dried solid fuel coming from the second stage of the fuel drying unit to generate steam in the boiler, and a generator unit with a steam drive driven by steam coming from the boiler and intended for power generation, the generator unit with the steam drive creating high temperature exhaust steam.
EFFECT: invention provides the conversion of organic waste with a high water content, such as fecal sludge and food waste, into electricity, while simultaneously receiving and collecting drinking water.
