NOVELTY - A sludge and/or waste (100) conversion apparatus comprises heated air system, trough arrangement, auger system in the trough arrangement to form a conveyor system, and heater box enclosing part of the conveyor system.    USE - For converting organic wastes and sludges (originating from municipality, animal or poultry facility, and/or paper mill) into soil or alternative fuel medium (claimed), useful in areas including agriculture (organic farming of vegetables, crops and fruit trees), horticulture (nurseries, freeway landscaping, golf courses, landscaping, and public sector), silviculture and land reclamation (forest, Christmas trees, landfill cover, and road shoulders), other markets (airports, parks, cemeteries, lawns, gardens, military installations), and organic cattle field.    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus can ensure that solid medium or alternative fuel medium is non-odiferous, non-pathogenic, and/or virus-free; can mass reduce large quantities of organic sludges and wastes (5:1 ratio); can produce soil mediums or alternative fuel mediums that are or approach Class A or exceptional quality rating making them safe to recycle; can convert solids and liquids to soil mediums or alternative fuel mediums, in which 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; and/or can reduce the footprint of other conventional waste recycling apparatus by reducing the space/area these devices occupy.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a soil medium produced by using the apparatus; and    (2) an alternative fuel medium produced by using the apparatus.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure is a view of an arrangement for processing organic wastes and sludges.
