Greentail - Food waste to water

how it works.

 

Basic Installation Requirements

  • Power requirements: 220V, 3 phase 30A
  • An open 4” floor drain
  • A dedicated warm water source (40ºC or 102ºF)

1. Organic Waste Input

The technology behind the food waste to water system can, within 24 hours, safely digest up to 1500lbs of virtually all organic food waste, including; meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables, rice, pasta, bread, noodles, grains, coffee, eggshells and dairy products!

2. Micro-organisms

The micro-organisms produce enzymes that break down the Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats into ‘bio-water’. A highly refined formula of safe-to-touch government approved and certified microorganisms ( FC400A) produce enzymes that aerobically breakdown organic waste.

The proprietary microorganism is listed on CEPA’s
(Canadian Environment Protection Agency) DSL.
(Canadian Domestic Substance Listing)

Specialized wood chips (shown) are uitized as a carrier agent for the micro-organisms.

3. Digestion Process

Digestion of the organic waste begins immediately. The on-board PLC system controls the mix rotation and speed, mix temperature, water injection and indicates the acceptable waste input weight levels. 40C water is automatically added to the mix as needed. Food waste is completely digested and returns to our ecosystem as free flowing water that looks something like strong tea.

4. Waste to Water Approved Output

The City compliant ‘bio-water’ simply runs into a standard floor drain. Municipal governments have approved the water output for safe discharge down the drain. Test results show that the system’s pH, BOD, COD, TSS and Total Oil & Grease levels meet municipal government water output regulations.
