(WO9944761-A1)   NOVELTY - Organic materials in the waste are separated from inorganics and metals (13, 14), before de-watering (3) and pelletization (6). Water released is fermented in reactors (4). Biogas produced is consumed in a power station (10), or is sent to a pressure reactor (5), for reforming with the pellets.    USE - To process organic wastes.    ADVANTAGE - The process treats a wide variety of organic waste, producing useful fuel and/or synthesis gas, minimizing all forms of environmental contamination. It is largely insensitive to the type of organic waste. Metals and inorganic materials are recovered and can be recycled. A series of reactors can treat the leachate at temperatures increasing to the thermophilic region. Some of the biogas, with steam, can be fed as gasification medium into the hot, high pressure reactor containing pellets as a fluidized bed, where reforming takes place. Up to 50 % hydrogen results in the synthesis or fuel gas produced. Methanol may be synthesized. Residues of the process and of subsequent combustion find agricultural use. The process is discussed at some length in the disclosure, where additional proposals arise, e.g. use of hydrogen generated, in fuel cells.
