ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for accelerated biodegradation of organic matter. The apparatus includes an enclosure for receiving a stack of organic matter and at least one fan connected to a series of aeration ducts for directing a gas containing oxygen through the stack. After passing through the stack the gas is collected and passed through a scrubber and a heat exchanger that cools the gas. A portion of the gas is exchanged with a portion of a replacement gas and then the gas is recirculated through the stack in a substantially closed loop system. The temperature, oxygen content, and flow rate of the gas are controlled to provide a sustained accelerated rate of biodegradation in the stack. In addition, the stack is periodically agitated.
