A new method and concept for the recovery of valuable materials from solid waste and the conversion of organic solid waste and sewage into crude oil, gas, usable elemental solids and water uses a two step process, solid waste reduction and an organic fusion process. Two resources are used in the Waste Resource Process, solid waste (municipal garbage) and waste water (municipal sewage). Waste water goes directly into the Organic Fusion Process. Solid waste requires processing for removal of non-organic products and preparation of the organics that are used in the Organic Fusion Process. Solid waste organics used in the Organic Fusion Process include, plastics, papers, food and yard waste, organic construction debris, waste oils, many household and commercial chemicals; anything with a hydrocarbon molecular structure.

Claims
1-14. (canceled)
15. A system for of processing waste material, including solid and liquid materials, into useable products, comprising the steps of:
at least one grinder for reducing the size of the waste material;a sorter for sorting the reduced size material by separating it with at least one of a electromagnetic process and an eddy current magnetic process;at least one trommel to reduce the size of the material and to removed inorganic materials;a separator for separating and storing the processed separated inorganic materials;a grinder to process the organic materials to reduce it to a small size;a storage tank for mixing the organic material with sewerage waste water;a lower temperature diffusion reactor for the expansion and separation of the organic material/water material into steam, gases, hydrocarbons, and solids;a dryer for drying and to allow the separating and storing of the gases;storing facility for the storage of the solid materials; anda turbine utilizing the stored gases to power and to provide mechanical and electrical power sources used in the processing of the waste material.
16. The system according to claim 15, including the step of processing the reduced size material through at least one trommel to removed inorganic materials, includes using the trommel and air flotation for the light organics to keep them in the flow and allowing heavier, fine inorganics to drop out.
17. The system according to claim 15, including a heat exchanger for elemental solids produced in the waste material process for providing heat used in the processing of the waste materials.
18. The system according to claim 15, including a dryer for separating and storing the gases into at least oxygen, combustible, and unwanted gases.
19. The system according to claim 15, including a heat exchanger for oil vapors and gases produced in the waste material process for providing heat used in the processing of the waste materials.
20. The system according to claim 15, including central computer monitor and control for controlling the method of processing.
