A hybrid system includes multiple food cycler system that each operate independently. A method of using the hybrid system includes receiving first food waste into a first removable bucket, receiving the first removable bucket into a first processing compartment, starting the first processing compartment to process the first food waste at a first time, receiving second food waste into a second removable bucket, receiving the second removable bucket into a second processing compartment and starting the second processing compartment to process the second food waste at a second time. The first processing compartment and the second processing compartment are configured in a same physical system and the first processing compartment and the second processing compartment each process respectively the first food waste and the second food waste using independent processes and at least one shared resource.

The present invention relates to a system (1) and method (100) for drying a residual product (12) from a foodstuff production process, the residual product containing between 20-50% dry substance. The method comprises the steps of producing a main foodstuff product (4) in the foodstuff production process (2); receiving the residual product continuously from the foodstuff production process; supplying the residual product to a mixer (30); supplying the mixed product (31) to a fluidized bed (40); supplying heated air (57) of between 60-150 degrees C. to the fluidized bed; drying the mixed product in the fluidized bed using the supplied heated air by shaking the mixed product; cooling the dried product; and extracting the dried product (42) from the fluidized bed, wherein a portion (62) of the dried product is supplied to the mixer to be mixed with received residual product (12).

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. This can be accomplished using a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. An algorithm is used to control the conversion of organic input to organic output by progressing through processing states based, in part, on time windows, runtimes, and sensor inputs.

The present disclosure refers to a method of electrochemical conversion of organic waste to organic acid and hydrogen, comprising the steps of: (i) subjecting organic waste to ball milling under alkaline or acidic conditions to obtain pre-treated organic waste; (ii) introducing the pre-treated organic waste to a first compartment of an electrochemical cell, wherein the electrochemical cell comprises: the first compartment containing a nickel-based anode, a second compartment containing a cathode, and an electrolyte; and (iii) applying an electrical potential between the anode and the cathode, thereby producing organic acid at the anode, and hydrogen at the cathode. The present disclosure also refers to an organic acid or hydrogen produced from the method disclosed herein.

A beverage brewing device may include a beverage brewing device for receiving a single-use beverage cartridge, wherein the cartridge contains beverage material for brewing. The beverage brewing device discards the cartridge in response to the brewing. A mill machine disintegrates the cartridge after receiving the cartridge from the beverage brewing device. A compost box for receiving the disintegrated cartridge from the mill machine.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide an organic matter processing apparatus and method for the use thereof to convert organic matter into a ground and desiccated product. This can be accomplished using a bucket assembly that can grind, paddle, and heat organic matter contained therein. An air treatment system is provided to treat the air interacting with the organic matter.

The present invention provides a method of reducing and controlling a hazardous substance in a process of high-value biological conversion of an urban organic waste. The method includes: 1) mixing a sludge, a first urban organic waste and an organic acid with water for acclimation to obtain an acclimatized sludge; 2) stage 1 of biological conversion: mixing the acclimatized sludge with a second urban organic waste to perform anaerobic culture; 3) stage 2 of biological conversion: adding nitrate and bacteria to continue anaerobic culture so as to obtain an organic acid. In the present invention, sludge microbes are acclimatized and then added to high-value chemicals such as acetic acid, propanoic acid and lactic acid prepared in biological conversion of the urban organic waste and then added with bacteria. Thus, by controlling pH value, microbe addition amount and nitrate concentration, the unfavorable effect of the antibiotics and heavy metal ions.
