MMMMMMM...The finished product sounds yummy, wonder If I can order some by the case!

John, Looks like TTRIF has a much better process. The million dollar question is, can IECS build these plants cheaper? I think so. The reason for my optimism is that it takes a lot of equipment for the Thermo Process to hold and convert say 300 tons of waste for 36 hours, as compared to the quicker process that IECS uses which hopefully ties up less equipment and therefore cost less to build. As you mentioned, it may also be more economical to run a ROP plant at lower volumes (like for a hog farm). A Thermo Master Plant seems to me to be ideally suited for converting municipal sludge, where the volume levels are high and constant.

In a nutshell they smash the foodwaste, sterilize/cook it, then stabilize it at room temperature so it can be stored and used later without it starting to rot. I would be willing to bet that during the sterilization process, most of the water is evaporated out of the slurry. This would explain the 1 ton per hour finished product for 10-12 tons per hour of incoming waste.
