NOVELTY - Soil mediums or alternative fuel mediums are produced from organic wastes or sludges, by operating a heated air system to convert the collection of organic wastes or sludges to a soil medium or alternative fuel medium; and exhausting dust particles or undesirable gases by utilizing exhaust system.    USE - For the production of soil mediums or alternative fuel mediums from organic wastes or sludges (100) that originates from municipality, an animal or poultry facility, and/or a paper mill (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The inventive method can convert organic wastes or sludges into non-odoriferous, non-pathogenic, relatively virus-free soil mediums or alternative fuel mediums. It can mass reduce large quantities of organic wastes or sludges. It can reduce organic wastes or sludges by a 5 to 1 ratio. It can produce soil mediums or alternative fuel mediums that are or approach Class A or "exceptional quality" rating making them safe to recycle. It can also convert both solids and liquids to soil mediums or alternative fuel mediums, where the treated solids can be safely recycled to agriculture markets and liquids can be recycled as wash-down water, beneficially recycled for reuse in the manufacturing of the original product or recycled for irrigation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Production of soil mediums or alternative fuel medium from organic wastes or sludges, comprises providing at least one collection of organic wastes or sludges, and providing a heated air system. An exhaust system is coupled to the heated air system. The collection of organic wastes or sludges is introduced to the heated air system. The heated air system is operated to convert the collection of organic wastes or sludges to a soil medium or alternative fuel medium. Dust particles or undesirable gases are exhausted by utilizing the exhaust system.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows an arrangement for processing organic wastes and sludges.
