<p>A waste treatment apparatus comprises a collapsible container (10) having a plurality of interconnecting panels (24, 26, 28, 30) at least some of which are perforated to permit the passage of air, the panels being adapted to be assembled to form a housing (12) for receiving soil to be treated through which air and water may pass, wherein a suitable environment for aerobic bioremediation of solid and for liquid waste is provided. The housing (12) is adapted to be disassembled and collapsed to form a flatpack arrangement to facilitate transportation. A perforated base may be provided. The perforated base is preferably a non-biodegradable permeable material, (e.g. a) flexible plastic with a high internal surface area. The apparatus is used to convert environmentally unsound and/or waste products, into products which are not deleterious to the environment and which may have useful properties. An example is the conversion of harmful hydrocarbons in a contaminated soil, into carbon dioxide and water.</p> |
