<p>The present application describes methods and apparatus for co-processing solid organic waste material and sludge to form a material suitable for agricultural application. The method comprises the steps of forming an admixture of solid organic waste materials and sludge in one or more containment vessels (12, 14, 16 and 18). At least one of the vessels has means for mixing (118 and 122) the admixture formed, and is further equipped with means for placing gases and water into the vessel (30) and removing gases and water from the vessel (32). The vessel is equipped with temperature controls (222) to facilitate imposition of various growth conditions within the vessel. The vessel further comprises opening means for receiving solid organic waste material and sludge and discharging one or more biodegradable products. The mixing apparatus maintains the admixture in contact with gases and water and provides temperature uniformity within the vessel.</p> |
