A method of treating fecal waste according to an example of the present disclosure includes bringing a reactor containing fecal matter to a first temperature and a first pressure, exposing the reactor to an environment with a second temperature and a second pressure such that the water in the fecal waste undergoes flash evaporation, and pyrolizing the fecal waste. A fecal waste processing unit is also disclosed.

This is a transportable forced air elevated flare with a better than 98% burn efficiency. This is all built on a trailer to be able to move quickly to different locations. The unit is self-contained and can be quickly setup and put in operation without the use of cranes or other heavy equipment. The unit is also able to carry steel pipe and different types of hoses to allow this unit to tie to tank batteries or well heads.

A waste-to-energy conversion apparatus comprising a primary combustion chamber capable of holding a load of waste, and the primary combustion chamber further comprises a heat source to heat the waste and generate a syn gas stream, grates, within the primary chamber, capable of supporting the load of waste during heating, a mixing chamber wherein the syn gas is mixed with additional combustion gas, a multi-chambered secondary combustion chamber for combusting the mixture of syn gas and additional combustion gas, and an energy extraction system for extracting the heat energy generated by the combustion of the mixture of syn gas and additional combustion gas.

An apparatus and method are provided for reducing methane emissions from ruminant animals by combusting methane gas extracted from the rumen. The system comprises a conduit configured to transport methane from the animal's rumen to a combustion module mounted externally or implanted partially or fully in a subdorsal position. The combustion module includes a pressure-activated valve, air intake, ignition system, and combustion chamber enclosed by a heat-absorbing roof structure. A control unit monitors internal gas pressure and triggers a spark ignition circuit when combustion conditions are satisfied. An upward-facing camera inhibits ignition if flammable obstructions are detected above the module. A water-filled thermal buffer integrated into the chamber roof moderates exhaust temperature, reducing wildfire risk. Power is supplied by a solar panel and rechargeable battery. The system intermittently converts methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor, significantly mitigating the greenhouse gas impact of enteric fermentation in ruminant livestock.
