An in-vessel composting apparatus and process for continuous processing of food waste into a two component end product consisting of a bulk organic compost material and a compost-rich, liquid tea. The apparatus consists of a shredder/particle sizer feeding a horizontal drum having at least three chambers with connecting ports of sequentially increasing diameter, and through to a bulk collection container. The apparatus is further equipped with motorized drum rotation and provision for draining excess fluid from the first chamber, holding a batch volume at elevated temperature for a period of time, and then percolating it through the finished compost product in the third or final chamber to make compost tea. |
