ABSTRACT:
A process and an apparatus for biological conversion (composting) of organic waste material, e.g. from kitchens or restaurants, involving use of a heat-insulated housing (1) having at least two separate chambers (7, 8). In the first chamber (7), organic material is introduced and treated in the presence of microorganisms until an intermediate stage of conversion into biomass only. A portion of the partially converted material, responsive to a certain temperature measured in the first chamber (7), is transferred for a final composting into the second chamber (8). Waste organic material is newly introduced into the first chamber (7) and treated therein together with a remaining portion of the partially converted material; thereby, because of the presence of a sufficient amount of active microorganisms in the first chamber (7), the process of conversion of the newly introduced waste material is started immediately. If desired, drying and/or sterilizing of the composted material can be performed in a third chamber. A transportation unit (40) can be temporarily coupled to the second or third chamber for receiving the composted material from the second or third chamber and for transporting it to a remote place for further use. A number of transportation units can be combined to form a transportation set.
