Abstract
Ecologically friendly and organically composed fuel products and fire starters are presented. The composition of products and starters includes, but is not limited to: 58 to 60 percent decomposed straw, 38 percent horse or cow manure, and optionally, two percent hay mixture from various blends used as feed, and two percent straw dust from material pounded on by animals. During a formation process the composition is subjected to a number of steps with the end product being a hydraulically compressed fuel log, brick, ball, block, briquette, blank, pellet, and the like, dried to a less than 10 percent moisture content. While the process is applicable to formation of organic fuel products and fire starters, other ingredients may be used to produce other types of fuel products, both organic and inorganic, including wood chips, other kinds of animal manure.
Description
- This application is a continuation of and claims priority to International Patent Application No. PCT/US2014/038156 filed on May 15, 2014, which claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/894,727 filed on May 15, 2013. The subject matter of these patent documents is incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
- A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material, which is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent Office files or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
- The present invention relates to ecologically friendly fuel products and fire starters and, more particularly, to ecologically friendly fuel products such as, for example, fuel logs, blocks, bricks, pellets and the like, and fire starters made from organic and inorganic material.
- The search for new energy sources is on ongoing concern for all humanity as a rate of depletion of oil reserves and other energy sources such as, for example, coal, natural gas, wind, solar, nuclear, hydrogen, increases with rising demand. Additionally, concerns grow over the treatment of waste products with respect to, for example, safety, reliability, and disposal of the waste product. Accordingly, the inventor has determined that the exploitation of new energy sources can go hand-in-hand with addressing the problem of how to dispose of and potentially reuse, recycle, or usefully convert, all of the waste material and products, both organic and inorganic, produced by humans and/or animals in commercial, agricultural and/or industrial activities. As the protection and preservation of the environment is of paramount concern, the reuse and recycling of all manner of waste product, human and non-human, organic and inorganic, is being undertaken at all levels of society, whether it is personal, occupational, or governmental level.
- One of the most common and overlooked sources of waste and potential energy is livestock manure which can include, but is not limited to, manure produced by cattle, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and the like. Such waste materials accumulate in amounts over millions of pounds per year. These waste materials must be disposed of in environmentally safe and governmentally approved methods. With economic circumstances squeezing agricultural and other establishments using animals and live stock, such as small farms and/or sporting facilities, along with the increased costs and complexities of appropriately disposing of all the waste materials and products, establishments are investigating ways to convert the waste material into a usable product. It is generally known that if a usable fuel can be generated from such waste material, the fuel would be both eco friendly and profitable for the establishment. The prior art discloses a variety of methods and processes for converting various types of organic and inorganic material into usable fuel product.
- For example, Jackman (U.S. Pat. No. 3,910,755) is seen to describe a method and an apparatus for handling refuse, using waste and treating raw sewage wherein the material is processed into a source of energy.
- Beningson et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,063,903) is seen to describe an apparatus for disposal of solid wastes and recovery of fuel product therefrom through the conversion of the organic fraction of such wastes to fuel by the recovery of the constituents of the inorganic fashion.
- Schulz (U.S. Pat. No. 4,152,119) is seen to describe briquettes of a specified geometry and composition that are produced to serve as feed material or “burden” in a moving-burden gasifier for the production of a synthesis or fuel gas from organic solid waste materials and coal.
- Nielsen (U.S. Pat. No. 4,372,749) is seen to describe a method for the manufacturing of fuel briquettes from selected components of garbage that are comminuted and combined with coal dust.
- Lindemann (U.S. Pat. No. 4,496,365) is seen to describe a method of producing briquettes from organic waste products by the use of high pressure to produce sterilized fuel briquettes of high heating values.
- White (U.S. Pat. No. 6,506,223) is seen to describe a fuel pellet that is produced by the combination of organic waste material with a binder obtained by direct liquefaction and/or fast pyrolysis of biomass material.
- Miller (U.S. Pat. No. 6,544,425) is seen to describe a method of dewatering coal tailings and slurries and removing contaminants therefrom.
- Cullen (U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. US 2007/0006526 A1) is seen to describe fuel pellet briquettes manufactured from biomass and recovered coal slurries.
- Philipson (U.S. Pat. No. 7,252,691) is seen to describe a process for the conversion of municipal solid waste to combustible pellets of high fuel value.
- Nonetheless, despite the ingenuity of the above apparatuses, methods, and processes, there remains a need for ecologically friendly fuel products and fire starters and, more particularly, for ecologically friendly fuel products such as, for example, fuel logs, blocks, bricks, pellets and the like, and fire starters made from organic and inorganic material including for example, waste matter, readily available on agricultural and livestock establishments such as, for example, farms and/or sporting establishments.
- The present invention is directed to ecologically friendly organic fuel products and fire starters including products in the form of logs, balls, blocks, bricks, briquettes, blanks, and/or pellets from organic material that include straw and manure from, for example, cattle; sheep, goats, poultry, horses and the like. The fuel products and fire starters, in any of the above forms, is a mixture composed by weight or volume of the following elements, components, and/or ingredients in various combinations: at least about fifty-eight to sixty percent (58% to 60%) decomposed straw, at least about thirty-eight percent (38%) horse and/or cow manure, about two percent (2%) hay mixture of various blends that is dry and used as feed, and about two percent (2%) straw dust that is from material that has been pounded on by animals. The mixture can vary up or down (e.g., plus or minus) by up to about six percent (6%) of each element, component and/or ingredient.
- In one embodiment, the fuel products and fire starters are hydraulically compressed to a solid configuration weighing approximately two pounds (2 lbs.; 0.91 kilograms), plus or minus several ounces, and whose dimensions are at least about two and one half inches (2.5 in.; 6.35 centimeters (cm.)) wide, three and one half inches (3.5 in.; 8.89 cm.) high, and six inches (6 in.; 15.24 cm.) in length. It should be appreciated that the above described compression process could also be used in the creation of fuel and/or fire staring logs, balls, bricks, briquettes, blanks, or pellets incorporating, for example, wood chips and coal slurry material. Thus, both organic material and/or inorganic material, though not necessarily mixed together, can be subjected to the above process and method for producing fuel products and fire starters.

- As illustrated in
FIGS. 1 to 8 , ecologically friendly, organically composed fuel products and fire starters including products in the form of logs, balls, spheres, blocks, bricks, briquettes, blanks, and/or pellets are formed in a method and/orprocess 10 generally depicted inFIG. 1 . In one embodiment, a fuel product is formed as a fuel brick 12 (FIGS. 1 and 2 ), in another embodiment, the fuel product is formed as a cylindrical pellet 14 (FIG. 3 ), and in still another embodiment, a fire starter is formed as a fire starting ball or fire starter 13 (FIGS. 5 and 6 ). - As illustrated in
FIGS. 1-4 , raw organic materials 15 such as, for example, components, elements and/or ingredients set forth in the Table 16 (FIG. 4 ) are provided to form the ecologically friendly, organically composed fuel products and fire starters, such as the fuel brick 12 or fuel pellet 14, including: by weight about fifty-eight to sixty percent (58% to 60%) straw 18 that has been hammered, cleaned of all seeds, and heated to a temperature from about sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit (65° F.; about 18.3° C.), to about two hundred degrees Fahrenheit (200° F.; about 93.3° C.), and preferably to at least about one hundred ten degrees Fahrenheit (110° F.; about 43.3° C.), then decomposed for a time period from about one (1) day to about forty-five (45) days or more, and preferably to at least about forty-five (45) days; about thirty-eight percent (38%) animal manure 20 preferably, but not exclusively limited to, horse or cow manure that is removed from stalls and kept dry under cover and mixed with straw compound; about two percent (2%) hay mixture 22 of various blends that is dry and used as feed; and about two percent (2%) straw dust 24 that is derived from material that has been pounded on by, for example, animals such as the aforementioned horses, cows, and the like. - It should be appreciated that it is within the scope of the present invention that the components, elements and/or ingredients that comprise the mixture that form the fuel products (e.g.,
fuel brick 12 or fuel pellet 14) can vary up or down (e.g., plus or minus) by approximately six percent (6%) of each component, element and/or ingredient. For example, the mixture that forms the fuel products may or may not includehay 22 and/orstraw dust 24. Moreover,wax 25 is optionally added to the mixture by decreasing one or more of the aforementioned components, elements and/or ingredients, when the mixture is used to form the fire starter 13 (FIG. 6 ). As such,wax 25 is not a required element for fuel products (e.g., thefuel brick 12 or the fuel pellet 14). Similarly, one ormore additives 21 may optionally be added to the mixture by decreasing one or more of the aforementioned components, elements and/or ingredients, when the mixture is used to form the fuel products (e.g.,fuel brick 12 or fuel pellet 14) and/or thefire starter 13 to provide a visual and/or aromatic feature, as described below. The one ormore additives 21 may be added by weight at about less than one percent or one percent to five percent (<1% or 1% to 5%). It should also be appreciated that while the manure is described as being preferably from horses or cows, the manure may also be manure produced by, for example, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and the like. Similarly, while the hay is described as being feed grade hay, it is also within the scope of the present invention to use other blends of hay such as, for example, bedding hay, mulch hay and the like. - When the forming
process 10 ofFIG. 1 is completed, the fuel products and/or fire starter (and components, elements and/or ingredients thereof) are dried to less than about ten percent (10%) of their moisture content. - In general, the components, elements and/or
ingredients 15 are run through a medium to a fine grinder in a tube system that then feeds the components, elements and/oringredients 15 to a hopper that then feeds the material through to a piping system that is computer controlled. This allows enough raw materials of the components, elements and/oringredients 15 to enter a chamber that forms the fuel products and/or fire starter. In one embodiment, this step is electronically controlled by a visual inspection system. The material is then hydraulically compacted by at least about twenty-two thousand (22,000) or more pounds of pressure thereby creating a form, such as for example, the block orbrick 12 that weigh approximately two pounds (2 lbs.; 0.91 kg.) plus or minus several ounces. As shown inFIG. 2 , in one embodiment, the configuration of the ecologically friendly,organic fuel brick 12 includes dimensions of at least about six inches (6 in.; 15.24 cm.) long, two and one half inches (2.5 in.; 6.35 cm.) wide, and three and one half inches (3.5 in.; 8.89 cm.) high. - More specifically, with reference to
FIG. 1 , the process ormethod 10 for creating or producing the organic fuel products (e.g., thefuel brick 12 or fuel pellet 14) from the above described raw organic materials 15 (e.g., the components, elements and/oringredients 15 ofFIG. 4 ), includes the following steps. First, theraw materials 15, e.g.,natural field straw 18 with or without one or more ofhay 22 and/orstraw dust 24 is provided, and then theraw material 15 is deposited in (e.g., by feed from a conduit) afirst grinder 26 to undergo a grinding process. In one embodiment, depicted inFIG. 1 , a first one 60A of afiltration system 60 is optionally coupled to thefirst grinder 26 by aconduit 50 such as, for example, a flexible, semi-rigid or rigid pipe (e.g., a ten inch (10″) steel pipe). Thefiltration system 60, described in detailed below, receives and collects or filters contaminates such as, for example, fine or coarse dust, powders or particles, gases (e.g., ammonia gas) and/or a combination thereof. Next, theground material 15 comprising thenatural field straw 18, with or without one or more ofhay 22 andstraw dust 24, passes to acleaning chamber 28 for cleaning and to undergo a removal of scales and a cleaning of all seeds, and the like. Next the cleaned andground material 15 passes to thehammering process 30. As shown inFIG. 1 , a second one 60B of thefiltration system 60 is coupled to the hammering process by aconduit 50 to receive and collect or filter contaminates output therefrom. From thehammering process 30 theraw material 15 moves to aheating process 32 where the hammered, cleaned andground material 15 is heated to a temperature of at least about one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit (110° F.; about 43.3° C.). Theheated material 15 then passes to a second grinder 34 having a mixing and grindingchamber 34A. At the second grinder 34animal manure 20 such as, for example, horse or cow manure that has been decomposed or composted for a time period of at least about forty-five (45) days, is added to the processed material 15 (e.g., in one embodiment, the processedstraw 18 with or without one or more ofhay 22 and straw dust 24). It should be noted that the percentage amounts of each component, element and/or ingredient of the mix comprising the material 15 (e.g., thestraw 18,manure 20 either horse or cow,hay 22 and straw dust 24) can vary up or down (plus or minus) by at least about six percent (6%). As shown inFIG. 1 , thefiltration system 60 is optionally omitted from the second grinder 34, although it should be appreciated that it is within the scope of the present invention to optionally provide one of thefiltration system 60 coupled to the second grinder 34. - The processed
material 15, which now includes themanure 20, is provided to, for example, atumble dryer 36 that dries the processedmaterial 15 to below less than about ten percent (10%) of its original moisture content. As shown, a third one 60C of thefiltration system 60 is coupled to thetumble dryer 36 by aconduit 50 to receive and collect or filter contaminates output therefrom. - From there the processed
material 15 is provided to acollection chamber 38 and then, optionally, thematerial 15 is provided to a hopper feeder 40 (shown in dashed lines). In one embodiment, thehopper feeder 40 selectively feeds the processedmaterial 15 to ahydraulic press 42 such as, for example, a briquette machine, that compresses or compacts the processedmaterial 15 by the application of about twenty-two thousand (22,000) or more pounds of pressure thereby creating the organic fuel product (e.g., the fuel block 12) having predetermined dimensions. It should be appreciated that it is within the scope of the present invention to eliminate thehopper feeder 40 as other means may be employed to selectively feed the processedmaterial 15 to thehydraulic press 42. It should also be appreciated that it is within the scope of the present invention to form/configure various shaped fuel products such as logs, balls, blocks, bricks, briquettes, blanks, and/or pellets in thehydraulic press 42 including the fuel brick 12 (FIGS. 1 and 2 ), the cylindrical pellet 14 (FIG. 3 ), and the fire starting ball 13 (FIGS. 5 and 6 ). - In one aspect of the present invention, to form the
fire starter 13 as illustrated inFIG. 5 , prior to processing by thehydraulic press 42,wax 25 is added to the processed material 15 (e.g., the processedstraw 18,manure 20 either horse or cow, with or without one or more ofhay 22 and straw dust 24). In one embodiment, thefire starter 13 includes: by weight about fifty-eight to sixty percent (58% to 60%)straw 18 that has been hammered, cleaned of all seeds, and heated to a temperature from about sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit (65° F.; about 18.3° C.), to about two hundred degrees Fahrenheit (200° F.; about 93.3° C.), and preferably to at least about one hundred ten degrees Fahrenheit (110° F.; about 43.3° C.), then decomposed for a time period from about one (1) day to about forty-five (45) days or more, and preferably to at least about forty-five (45) days; about thirty-eight percent (38%)animal manure 20 preferably, but not exclusively limited to, horse or cow manure that is removed from stalls and kept dry under cover and mixed with straw compound; about two percent (2%)wax 25. The processedmaterial 15 andwax 25 mixture is next sent to thehydraulic press 42 that compresses or compacts the processedmaterial 15 by the application of about twenty-two thousand (22,000) or more pounds of pressure thereby creating theorganic fire starter 13 having predetermined dimensions such as, for example, a ball or sphere shape. In one embodiment, thefire starter 13 is not sent to thehydraulic press 42 and, as such, does not undergo the compressing or compacting step. Rather, the mixture of the processedmaterial 15 and thewax 25 is otherwise formed into sphere or ball shape for use. - In yet another aspect of the present invention the components, elements and/or ingredients that comprise the mixture that form the fuel products (e.g.,
fuel brick 12 or fuel pellet 14) and/or thefire starter 13 includes theadditives 21 to enhance a visual or aromatic feature of the fuel products (e.g.,fuel brick 12 or fuel pellet 14) and/or thefire starter 13. For example, it should be appreciated that it is within the scope of the present invention to add a fragrance such as, for example, lavender, rose, sandlewood, pine, patchouli and the like, to provide a more aesthetically pleasing smell or aroma to the products as they are stored and/or used. Similarly, it should be appreciated that a component may be added to provide a preferred color to the fuel products and/or fire starters while not in use (e.g., in shipment, storage and/or display) or which when used burns to provide a desirable visual effect (e.g., color or other effect). - The
filtration system 60, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is depicted inFIGS. 7A , 7B, and 8. As shown inFIG. 7A , that depicts a bottom view, thefiltration system 60 includes afiltration chamber 62 having one or more input ports 66 (e.g., one (1)input port 66A shown) and one or more output ports 64 (e.g., four (4)output ports 64A to 64D shown). As described above, thefiltration system 60 receives an air flow, via theconduit 50 coupled to the one ormore input ports 66, from one or more steps of the process ofFIG. 1 , and collects or filters contaminates such as, for example, fine or coarse dust, powders or particles, gases (e.g., ammonia gas) and/or a combination thereof, from the air flow. As shown inFIGS. 7B and 8 , one or more filtration bags orcontainers 70 are coupled to the one ormore output ports 64. In one embodiment, the filtration bag orcontainer 70 is selectively attachable and detachable from the one ormore output ports 64 to permit periodic removal for cleaning. In one embodiment, the filtration bag orcontainer 70 comprised of fabric or like material having a capability to filter or screen gases, particles and other contaminates. In one embodiment, the filtration bag orcontainer 70 filters, at an about ninety-nine percent (99%) efficiency, particles having a size in a range of about one (1) micron or more. - Various changes in the details, steps, and components that have been described may be made by those skilled in the art within the principles and scope of the invention herein illustrated and defined in the appended claims; therefore, the invention has been shown and described herein in what is believed to be the most practical and preferred embodiments.
