Abstract

A waste treatment system in which incoming waste is initially separated by a separator into solid and liquid components, without significantly emulsifying the solid components. The separator requires no energy to provide a solid waste component having a very small amount of liquid therein. The solid waste is then incinerated in a microwave reactor chamber which requires little energy, and which results in an extremely small amount of resulting ash, on the order of 0.1% of the incoming solid volume, with the solid treatment requiring little energy as a result of the effective separation accomplished by the separator. Optionally, a liquid treatment module can also be provided for removing any suspended solid remnants from the liquid component exiting the separator, with the liquid treatment module separating any suspended solids from the liquid component. The solid remnants removed from the liquid are also incinerated, with the liquid then subjected to further processing and purification.
