ABSTRACT:
The process of using a single layer of aeration support blocks to form a composting field having an inclusive air chamber beneath the blocks to maintain the heaps environment for the accelerated composting of vegetation, municipal solid waste, municipal sludge or other compostable material. Further the unique placement, on the individual blocks, of the support footers and the penetrating air nozzles to increase the structural strength of the individual blocks and therefore the entire field. Composting of vegetation, municipal solid waste and municipal sludge is required to reduce the volume of waste deposited into landfills. To provide for a cost efficient method of allowing for the large scale composting operations the following criteria must be met. First the operation must be reusable, through many composting cycles, without requiring replacement of material such as current use piping. Secondly acceleration of the composting process must be provide in the form of uniform control of the environment over the entire base of the composting heap. Thirdly the field and related equipment must be of a design that can be easily maintained and cleaned. This invention satisfies all three of these criteria. Additionally, provision is made to prevent ground water contamination by toxic runoff generated during the composting process.
