AERATION BED AND COMPOSTING SYSTEM

摘要

An aeration bed and composting system for aerating and/or drying of organic matter, materials or biomass to facilitate at least one stage or phase of a composting process. The composting system facilitates ready removal of useable portions of compost following completion of phases of the composting process. The composting system includes a holding area for holding a quantity of compostable material. The holding area has a base with at least one permeable portion. At least one chamber is located below the holding area. The chamber has an inlet to direct oxygen-containing fluid into the chamber and an outlet for directing matter outwardly from the chamber. An opening of the outlet is disposed lower in the chamber relative to an opening of the inlet. Creation of positive pressure within the chamber drives air upwardly through the permeable portion of the base of the holding area and into the compostable material.
