<p>The disclosure relates to a device and a process for conversion of biodegradable waste into organic fertilizer and fuel for heating. The organic fertilizer produced by the disclosed method provides nutrients to plants and at the same time improves moisture retaining capacity of the soil, prevents erosion and leaching. Particularly disclosed is an apparatus for treating biomass/organic waste comprising a container incorporating a shaft at the axis, affixed on which are plough type blades and an opening preferably at the top side for feeding the material; a chopper assembly, at least the blades of the said chopper assembly inserted into the container; a discharge assembly preferably connected at the bottom side of the container; a door at the connecting junction of the container and the discharge assembly which can be opened and closed, the said door may be a part of the container or the discharge assembly. Also disclosed is a process for converting bio-degradable waste/biomass material into organic fertilizer comprising feeding the said material into the container of said apparatus and chopping the material; adding a microbial culture or substance obtained there from; optionally adding a moisture absorbing substance; running the motor for mixing, taking out the material preferably on the ground to make a heap and ensuring aerobic conditions until the material matures into an organic fertilizer. The bio-stabilised material produced using said apparatus can be converted into fuel by spreading the material in a suitable mould, pressing and cutting the material into pieces of suitable size; and drying the material.</p> |
