<p>CONTINUOUS AGITATION RAPID OXIDATION BIOCONVERTER AND METHOD A continuous bioconverter or dry closet and method capable of aerobically and bacteriologically converting human and other organic wastes to principally carbon dioxide and water vapor. The closet comprises a collecting vessel containing a medium suitable for supporting a substantially total aerobic decomposition of organic wastes to gases. In a preferred embodiment in the closet are two parallel shafts, each supporting a rotationally mounted pair of opposing auger-type blades which provide an efficient stirring action, resulting in a complete and continuous aeration (oxidation) of the aerobic bacteria in the chemically reactive organic mixture. Also disclosed are modifications of the basic design wherein (a) an electric motor rotates the augers and is mounted within the collecting vessel; (b) an aerator is placed in the bottom of the collecting vessel; and (c) a vapor condenser is made a part of the exhaust system. Wastes are introduced to the medium and continuously agitated and supplied with oxygen from the time of their introduction and for the duration of the bioconversion reaction. Fig. 1.</p> |
