Definitions
- This patent is directed to drying systems and methods, and, in particular, to vibratory drying systems and methods utilizing mixing apparatuses.
- Municipal solid waste may include a variety of materials. For example, there may be lighter- weight materials, such as paper and newsprint. Solid waste may also include heavier- weight materials, such as metal, plastic and glass containers. Also, there may be organic materials, such as vegetation and the like.
- a method and apparatus can be found to treat such waste products, two pressing societal issues may be addressed at one time. That is, such a method and apparatus may assist in providing a new fuel source to meet the energy requirements of a growing global population while at the same time limiting the impact of that growing population on the environment in which it lives. Additionally, the new source of fuel may be considered to be renewable, in that it is capable of being replenished in a short amount of time, as opposed to fossil fuels that take many centuries to develop. [0006] However, the methods and apparatuses disclosed herein could be used to separate mixed products, and specifically mixed products with high moisture content, without that product being classified as a "waste" product. Moreover, the methods and apparatuses disclosed here may separate mixed products without addressing the societal issues mentioned above.

- the trough has an inlet end and an outlet end, which define the inlet and outlet ends of the conveying surface.
- the trough also has at least one deck plate with apertures that define passages through which air passes through the trough (and the conveying surface) to pass through the bed of materials (such as MSW) in the trough (and on the conveying surface). Consequently, the dryer also includes a source of heated air coupled to the passages in the trough (and conveying surface) to supply heated air to the bed through the passages.
- the dryer To move the bed of materials along the trough between the inlet end and the outlet end, the dryer includes a vibration generator coupled to the trough, and in particular the conveying surface.

- the plurality of rotary mixers is adapted to provide uplift within the bed without causing de-densification of the bed.
- the dryer according to the present disclosure may produce uniform drying at a constant rate (within an acceptable range) along the length of the dryer.
- a second embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a vibratory dryer in the form of a container having a curved inner surface disposed about a generally horizontally extending longitudinal axis that defines the conveying surface.
- the container has an inlet end and an axially- spaced outlet end opposite the inlet end, which inlet and outlet ends define the inlet and outlet ends of the conveying surface.
- the curved inner surface may be defined, at least in part, by at least one deck plate that has a plurality of apertures through which air passes through the conveying surface and thus passes through the bed of materials on the conveying surface.
- the air passing through the apertures may be directed tangential to the curved inner surface.
- the dryer may also include a source of heated air coupled to the deck plate and the passages to supply heated air to the container through the passages defined by the apertures in the deck plate.

- the first embodiment of a dryer 50 according to the present disclosure is illustrated in Fig. 1.
- the dryer 50 includes a trough 52 that is supported on a series of resilient member/link (also referred to as reactor spring/stabilizer) pairs 54 to a frame 56.
- the frame 56 is supported on the ground (e.g., a concrete floor) by a further plurality of resilient members (also referred to as isolation springs) 58 to limit the transmission of the vibrations of the dryer 50, and in particular the trough 52, to the floor.
- a further plurality of resilient members also referred to as isolation springs
- the trough 52 has a deck 70 (defined by at least one deck plate) with a conveying surface 72 on which material may be disposed.
- the trough 52 may also include two opposing side plates 74, 76 that depend from the deck 70, and that may be attached or joined to the deck 70.
- the plates 74, 76 and the deck 70 may define a space 78 in which a bed of material may be formed.
- deck 70 and side plates (or walls) 74, 76 define a rectangularly- shaped cross-section, upwardly-opening space 78, this should not be viewed as limiting the trough 52 described herein, but merely exemplary of the possible constructions that may be used for the trough 52.
- a moveable weir or gate may be disposed at the outlet end 64 to assist in forming the bed on the deck 70.
- a hood 90 is attached to the trough 52 to limit the escape of materials from the bed defined by the trough 52, as well as to collect the heated air that has pass through the material bed.
- the hood 90 may be attached or secured to the side plates 74, 76 so as to be disposed above the deck 70 of the trough 52.
- the trough 52 may also include one or more plenums 110 attached or defined below the deck 70.
- the plenum(s) 110 may be coupled, via flexible connectors 112 and conduits, to the source of the heated air, as explained in greater detail below with reference to Fig. 3.
- the plenum(s) 110 may be defined by a bottom plate (or wall) 114, side plates (or walls) 116, 118, and end plates 120, 122 (only one of which is illustrated in Fig. 2), as well as the deck 70.
- deck 70 may include at least one deck plate with openings, apertures, passages or the like through which heated air passes from the plenum(s) 110 into the space 78.
- the deck 70 or the at least one deck plate may be described as perforated or foraminous.
- the dryer 50 includes one or more rotary mixer assemblies or mixers 130.
- Each mixer 130 includes a drive unit 132, which may include an electric motor and associated gearing, that is coupled to an impeller 134 by a shaft 136.
- the length of the shaft 136 is such that the drive unit 132 of the mixer 130 may be disposed outside the trough 52 and hood 90.
- the drive units 132 of the mixers 130 may be mounted on a cross beam 138, which beam 138 may be connected to ground, and the shaft 136 may pass through the hood 90.
- a seal may be formed at each of the openings through which the shafts 136 pass through the hood 90.
- the shafts 136 may be mounted on a spring- supported, weighted base to minimize the impact forces between the mixer 130 and the trough 52 due to material compression between the mixer 130 and the deck 70.
- the drive unit 132 causes the shaft 136 to rotate about its longitudinal axis, causing the impeller 134 of the mixer to likewise rotate about that axis in a plane that is substantially parallel to the surface 72 of the deck 70. Because the drive units are coupled to ground, and the deck 70 (along with the remainder of the trough) is moving according to a vibratory motion, the impeller 134 will also have a tendency to move relative to the surface 72 through the bed of material disposed on the surface 72.
- the air flow may cause the materials to shift, which may also cause relative movement between the impeller 134 and the materials within the bed.
- the mixers 130 rotate relatively slowly to produce an uplift of the material (e.g., MSW) to mix the constituent materials within the bed without centrifugally displacing the material.
- an uplift of the material e.g., MSW
- the distribution of heated air across the face of the bed remains relatively uniform. The uniform distribution of the heated air is believed to play a significant role in achieving uniform constant rate drying.

- the impeller 134 includes four blades 142 mounted to a central hub 144 that is attached or secured in turn to the shaft 136.
- the blades 142 may have an arcuate shape, as best seen in Fig. 5, and may be equally disposed about the hub 144, as best seen in Fig. 6. It will be recognized that this embodiment of the mixer 130 is merely for illustrative purposes only, and does not limit the mixer 130 according to the present disclosure to only the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 4-6.
- the mixers 130 are arranged in rows across the width (i.e., between the side walls 74, 76) of the trough 52. While five mixers 130 are illustrated in the row of mixers 130 in Fig. 2, the number of mixers 130 include in a row may vary; Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate
- the dryers include only three mixers per row. Additionally, while the mixers 130 are illustrated in Figs. 2, 7 and 8 with the respective impellers 134 equally spaced between the side walls 74, 76, this is not true of the dryer according to all such embodiments; the spacing may vary between every mixer 130 in a row, or between only certain mixers 130 within a row.
- mixers 130 are described as arranged in rows, this description does not require that each of the mixers 130 within a given row is equally spaced relative to the inlet and outlet ends 62, 64; mixers 130 described as within a given row may be staggered relative to each other, such that certain mixers 130 in a row are closer to the inlet end 62, while others are closer to the outlet end 64.
- rows of mixers 130 may be disposed at intervals between the inlet and outlet ends 62, 64.
- a plurality of rows may be spaced at equal intervals between the inlet and outlet ends 62, 64.
- each of the rows within this plurality of rows may have the same number of mixers 130.
- the spacing between different rows within the plurality of rows may be unequal, or the number of mixers 130 within different rows may be unequal.
- the spacing between a first and a second row may vary relative to the spacing between the second row and a third row.
- adjacent rows may alternate between even and odd numbers of mixers 130 in each row.

- the illustrated source 150 includes a fan 152 and an associated damper 154 in combination with an air heater 156 (which may be a natural gas-fired air heater, for example).
- the damper 154 (or more particularly, the actuator associated with the damper 154) may be coupled to an air mass flow controller 158, which may be programmed to provide a constant mass flow of drying air.
- the air heater 156 may be coupled in a similar fashion to an air temperature controller 160 (which may be separate from or defined by the same equipment as the air mass flow controller 158) that is in turn coupled to a sensor(s) 162 (such as a thermocouple) disposed at the outlet end 64 of the trough 52, which air temperature controller 160 may be programmed to vary the operation of the air heater 156 according to the temperature(s) within the material bed, for example.
- an air temperature controller 160 which may be separate from or defined by the same equipment as the air mass flow controller 158, that is in turn coupled to a sensor(s) 162 (such as a thermocouple) disposed at the outlet end 64 of the trough 52, which air temperature controller 160 may be programmed to vary the operation of the air heater 156 according to the temperature(s) within the material bed, for example.
- the dryer 50 may also include a second source of heated air 170 that works in conjunction with the air exiting the hood 90, as well as other downstream exhaust air processing equipment 190.
- the second source of heated air 170 may include a fan 172, associated damper 174, air heater 176, an air mass flow controller 178, and air temperature controller 180 (which may be separate from or defined by the same equipment as the air mass flow controller 178).
- the second source of heated air 170 may be adapted to deliver hot, temperature-controlled air at a constant mass flow directly to an exhaust air header to limit or prevent condensate formation in the exhaust system.
- the downstream exhaust air processing equipment 190 may include an exhaust air fan 192 that may be used to maintain a slight negative static pressure within the trough 52/hood 90 combination to limit expulsion of moisture and dust-laden air into the environment.
- the equipment 190 may also include a dust collector 194 with associated ancillary conveyors 196.
- An exemplary system 200 utilizing the dryer according to the present disclosure is illustrated in Fig. 9.
- the system 200 includes a dryer 202, which dryer may be according to any of the embodiments addressed in the foregoing disclosure.
- the dryer 202 receives MSW from a source 204, such as a dump or landfill.
- the material from the source 204 may be processed at 206 to separate metals, glass, rocks, concrete, and other debris, from the residual materials that are supplied to the dryer 202.
- a vibratory separator or other such equipment may be used to separate and remove the metals, glass, rocks, concrete, and other debris from the other MSW received from the source 204.
- the remaining MSW may also be shredded prior to being supplied to the dryer 202.
- the dryer 202 may receive shredded remainder consisting, primarily, of paper and plastic, less than 2" in size.
- the loose, dried material pelletized at 208 for example using a pellitizer that converts the loose, dried material into dense pellets of dried material.
- the pellets may then be transported to a power plant 210 (e.g., a coal-fired power plant), for use as a fuel supplement.
- the pellets may be transported to storage 212.
- a vibratory dryer 250 includes a cylindrical drum or container 252.
- the container 252 has an inlet end 254, and an axially- spaced outlet end 256 opposite the inlet end 254.
- the container 252 has a curved inner surface 258 disposed about a generally horizontally extending longitudinal axis 260 (appearing as a point in Fig. 11, and as a line in Figs. 10 and 12).
- the surface 258 may define a conveying surface for the materials disposed in the container 252.
- the container 252 is mounted on a plurality of resilient members, or springs, 270, 272, 274 so as to be resiliently supported above a base 276.
- the springs 270 isolate the container 252 from the base 276 on one side, while the springs 272 isolate the container 252 from the base 276 on the other side.
- the springs 270, 272 may be set apart from the base 276 by, for example, steel columns 278, 280 (Fig. 10) and a steel support structure 282 (Figs. 11 and 12), respectively.
- the apparatus 250 also includes a vibratory generator 290. While an exemplary embodiment of a vibratory generator is discussed below, it will be recognized that other generators may be used as well. For example, an alternative generator may not have the motors mounted on the apparatus, but on a stationary support structure instead. The motors may be coupled to and drive rotating eccentric weights mounted on the apparatus, however.
- the vibratory generator 290 may comprise a beam 292 that spans the springs 270.
- the beam 292 is coupled to the container 252 by rocker leg assemblies 294, 296, disposed generally at or near the inlet end 254 and the outlet end 256, respectively.
- Rocker leg assemblies also may be distributed along the length of the beam 292.
- the beam 292 is also coupled to the container 252 by the springs 274, which springs 274 span the beam 292 between the rocker leg assembly 294 and the rocker leg assembly 296.
- the container 252 has freedom of movement constrained only by the rocker leg assemblies 294, 296 and the springs 274 in response to a vibratory force produced by the vibratory generator 290.
- the vibratory generator 290 may include a pair of eccentric weight motors mounted on opposite sides of the beam 292, one of which is shown in Fig. 10 at 298.
- the vibratory force produced by the vibratory generator 290 is generally represented by the double-ended arrow 300 in Fig. 11. It will be recognized that the vibratory force 300 is directed generally along a linear path which is (i) displaced from the generally horizontally extending longitudinal axis 260 and (ii) displaced from the center of gravity of the container 252. As will also be appreciated, the plurality of resilient members 270, 272, 274 mount the container 252 for unconstrained vibratory movement in response to the vibratory force 300 produced by the vibratory generator 290.
- the vibratory force 300 causes objects to move within the container 252.
- Objects placed in the container 252 are moved in a generally rising and falling path of rolling movement along the curved inner surface 258 of the container 252, as generally represented by the pair of arrows 302 in Fig. 11.
- the rolling movement occurs as the objects are being transported in the direction of the generally horizontally extending longitudinal axis 260 from the inlet end 254 toward the outlet end 256 of the container 252.
- the container 252 may be mounted such that the generally horizontally extending longitudinal axis 260 is actually inclined downwardly from the inlet end 254 to the outlet end 256.
- the downward inclination of the container 252 causes the objects to be transported, in part, by gravity from the inlet end 254 toward the outlet end 256.
- this inclination is not required in all embodiments of the present disclosure.
- the container 252 may include a pair of outwardly extending arms 304, 306.
- the arms 304, 306 may each include an integrally associated ballast weight, such as the weight 308 (see Fig. 11) that is on the side of the container 252 opposite the vibratory generator 290.
- the ballast weights assist in producing the vibratory force 300, and the vibratory force 300 may be modified by modifying, for example, the placement and size of the ballast weights.
- the dryer 250 may include one or more rotary mixer assemblies or mixers 320, as illustrated in Figs. 13 and 14. As illustrated, the dryer 250 includes a single mixer 320.
- the mixer 320 may include a drive unit 322, which may include an electric motor and associated gearing or belts, that is coupled to one or more impellers 324 by a shaft 326. In the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 13, six impellers 324 are shown connected or coupled to the shaft 326.
- the length of the shaft 326 may be such that the drive unit 322 of the mixer 320 may be disposed outside the container 252.
- one or both ends of the shaft 326 of the mixer 320 may be mounted on a cross beam or cross beams, which beam or beams may be connected to ground, and the shaft 326 may pass through the inlet end 254 and/or the outlet end 256 (that is to say, the shaft 326 may be supported at one end or both ends of the dryer 250 by the cross beam or beams).
- both ends of the shaft 326 are supported (by bearings, for example) outside the dryer 250.
- the shaft 326 may be mounted on a spring-supported, weighted base to minimize the impact forces between the mixer 320 and the drum 252 due to material compression between the mixer 320 and the surface 258.
- a seal may be formed at each of the inlet and outlet ends 254, 256 through which the shaft 326 may pass.
- the drive unit 322 causes the shaft 326 to rotate about its axis, causing the impellers 324 of the mixer to likewise rotate about a shaft axis, which shaft axis may be substantially parallel to the axis 260 of the container 252.
- the axis of the shaft 326 may be offset relative to the axis 260, or the axis of the shaft 326 may be aligned with the axis 260.
- the impeller 324 may rotate at a different speed than the rolling motion of the material in the container 252 caused by the force 300, which may cause relative motion between the impeller 324 and the material in the container 252.
- the mixers 320 are intended to rotate slowly relative to the motion of the material according to the motion produced by the vibratory generator 260 to produce an uplift of the material (e.g., MSW) to mix the constituent materials within the bed without centrifugally displacing the material.
- an uplift of the material e.g., MSW
- the distribution of heated air remains relatively uniform.
- the uniform distribution of the heated air is believed to play a significant role in achieving uniform constant rate drying.
- the impeller 324 may be constructed as illustrated in Figs. 14. That is, the impeller 324 may include four blades or paddles 328 attached or secured to a central hub 330 that is attached or secured in turn to the shaft 326.
- the blades or paddles 328 may be flat (to promote axial movement) or may have an arcuate shape, similar to that seen in Fig. 5, and may be equally disposed about the hub 330, again similar to that seen in Fig. 6.
- the impeller 324 and the blades 328 of the impeller will be disposed generally orthogonal to the axis of the shaft 326, and potentially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis as well. It will be recognized that this embodiment of the mixer 320 is merely for illustrative purposes only, and does not limit the mixer 320 according to the present disclosure to only the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 13 and 14.
- the mixer 320 may include more than one impeller 324 (e.g., six impellers, as illustrated).
- the impellers 324 may be disposed at intervals along the shaft 326 between the inlet and outlet ends 254, 256.
- the impellers 324 may be spaced at equal intervals along the shaft 326 (as illustrated), or the impellers may be disposed along the shaft 326 such that certain ones of the impellers 324 are closer to each other than other ones of the impellers 324 (i.e., unequal).
- each mixer having a separate shaft and separate impellers.
- the number of impellers mounted on the shaft of the mixers may vary.
- the impellers of one mixer may be spaced in different points along the respective shaft when compared with the impellers spaced along the shaft of another mixer, such that the impellers do not interfere with each other, although the motion of the impellers of different mixers may cooperate with each other relative to the motion of the material in the container 252.
- the shafts of the mixers may be spaced so that the impellers of one mixer do not contact the shaft of another mixer.
