Abstract
Abstract An effluent disposal system for use in conjunction with a high temperature heat source in which waste material is mascerated and meterably discharged into the source of heat as a function of heat source operating conditions such as pressure or temperature, thus insuring the most efficient waste disposal throughout the complete heat source operating range.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: effluent collection tank; means in communication with said tank for mascerating said effluent; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerated effluent; and means in communication with said mascerating means and said heat source, for meterably discharging a particular volume of said mascerated effluent into said heat source as a function of a particular operating parameter of said heat source.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: effluent collection tank; means in communication with said tank for mascerating said effluent; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerated effluent; and means in communication with said mascerating means and said heat source, for meterably discharging a particular volume of said mascerated effluent into said heat source as a function of a particular operating parameter of said heat source.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
89 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: effluent collection tank; means in communication with said tank for mascerating said effluent; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerated effluent; means in communication with said mascerating means and said heat source, for meterably discharging a volume of said mascerated effluent into said heat source as a function of a particular operating parameter of said heat source; and means in communication with said discharge means and said tank to return mascerated effluent not discharged into said heat source back to said tank.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
89 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: effluent collection tank; means in communication with said tank for mascerating said effluent; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerated effluent; means in communication with said mascerating means and said heat source, for meterably discharging a volume of said mascerated effluent into said heat source as a function of a particular operating parameter of said heat source; and means in communication with said discharge means and said tank to return mascerated effluent not discharged into said heat source back to said tank.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
An effluent disposal system as in claim 2, wherein said discharging means includes: pump connected in flow communication with said mascerating means and said heat source; meterable valve coupled between said pump and said heat source; and control means coupled to said meterable valve and said heat source.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
An effluent disposal system as in claim 3, wherein said heat source includes: internal combustion engine exhaust line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
An effluent disposal system as in claim 4, wherein said control means includes: pressure sensitive control member moveable in response to engine exhuast pressure and coupled to said meterable valve.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
An effluent disposal system as in claim 4, wherein said control means includes: temperature sensitive control arm moveable in response to engine exhaust gas temperature and coupled to said meterable valve.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
59 words
An effluent disposal system as in claim 5, wherein said control means includes: a pressure sensitive diaphram providing a pressure sensitive elastic diaphragm; a chamber in communication with said exhaust line, said diaphragm forming a wall of said chamber, and valve plate coupled to said diaphragm and moveable across the return line opening as a function of diaphragm expansion.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
103 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: effluent collection tank; a means in communication with said tank for mascerating said effluent within said tank; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerating effluent connected to said tank; heat source parameter condition indicating means connected to said heat source; and fluid flow metering means for variably regulating the volume of mascerated effluent fluid flow from said tank to said heat source, said meter means connected to said heat source parameter condition indicating means, whereby the volume of mascerated effluent flow into said heat source is a function of said heat source parameter condition indicating means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
103 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: effluent collection tank; a means in communication with said tank for mascerating said effluent within said tank; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerating effluent connected to said tank; heat source parameter condition indicating means connected to said heat source; and fluid flow metering means for variably regulating the volume of mascerated effluent fluid flow from said tank to said heat source, said meter means connected to said heat source parameter condition indicating means, whereby the volume of mascerated effluent flow into said heat source is a function of said heat source parameter condition indicating means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
97 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: mascerated effluent collection tank; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerated effluent; and means for meterably connecting said collection tank to said heat source for providing a volume of effluent flow between said collection tank and said heat Source as a function of a particular operating parameter of said heat source and wherein said metering means includes a pressure sensing means connected to said heat source whereby the volume of effluent received by said heat source from said collection tank is a function of the pressure within said heat source.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
97 words
An effluent waste disposal system comprising: mascerated effluent collection tank; heat source for sterilizing and calcinating said mascerated effluent; and means for meterably connecting said collection tank to said heat source for providing a volume of effluent flow between said collection tank and said heat Source as a function of a particular operating parameter of said heat source and wherein said metering means includes a pressure sensing means connected to said heat source whereby the volume of effluent received by said heat source from said collection tank is a function of the pressure within said heat source.
