Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for recycling organic waste material into reusable compost. This is attained by shredding or grinding organic waste and mixing the ground waste into a homogeneous mass and conveying the homogeneous mass to a decomposition chamber where it is aerated with recirculating air to decompose into a reusable compost. The apparatus for carrying out the process includes a compact, self-contained housing having a component section and a decomposition chamber. The waste material is ground and mixed in the component section and then conveyed to the decomposition chamber by a conveyor which disperses the homogenous waste longitudinally and laterally within the decomposition chamber. A blower directs aerating air into the decomposition chamber and the air is recirculated back to the blower, where the recirculated air is mixed with a predetermined amount of incoming fresh air, and a portion of the recirculating air is exhausted to atmosphere, the exhausting air being filtered prior to being exhausted. Thereafter, the resulting compost is removed by an auger through a discharge opening of the decomposition chamber.

Abstract: Biological fermentation of organic matter is conducted in a single, unitary, integral vessel with both aerobic and anaerobic processes being conducted within that single vessel. Heat generated in the aerobic process is used to maintain the temperature of the anaerobic process at a desired level, and high molecular weight organic materials are reduced to matter having low molecular weight in that aerobic process. Low molecular weight material is transferred to a chamber in the vessel to be fermented in the anaerobic process.

Abstract: An animal-supporting platform receives solid waste excreted by the animals. A mixture of the waste and a carrier liquid are treated in airtight holding tanks where ammonia gas is produced at ambient temperatures. The material is then fed to an airtight chamber provided with liquid overflow means and a liquid outlet passage which leads downwardly from the overflow means and then upwardly to a discharge point located outside the chamber. Combustible methane gas generated by decomposition of the waste material is discharged through a gas outlet opening located in an upper portion of the chamber, and undigested solids are moved through the chamber and then removed from the chamber by a conveyor means leading through a submerged chamber outlet opening.
