<p>A bio-reactor for the oxidation of organic matter. The reactor is made up of a closed, rotatable cylindrical vessel (11) adapted to be substantially filled with the organic matter and contains means (46) for oxidizing individual segments of the organic matter while exhausting moisture and gases from the vessel by means of a bio-filter (57). During the oxidation process, the vessel is rotated intermittently at a controlled rate to enhance reduction of the organic material while avoiding disruption of the decomposition process. Means (61) is provided to monitor and control the temperature within the vessel to ensure a proper environment for the complete oxidation of the material at an optimal rate to provide a nutrient-rich, pathogen-free compost.</p> |
