Methods, apparatus, and system for a compost system to reduce operator time, reduce power utilization, increase intensity of land use by the compost system, increase efficiency of biological activity in bulk material composted by the compost system, reduce odor production by the compost system, and to reuse water applied to and which may leach out of bulk material. The compost system may comprise an aerated pad, a pivot arm attached to a center of the aerated pad, and a control module. The aerated pad may receive a bulk material to be composted into a compost product. The aerated pad may comprise an air nozzle and a drain to direct water from the bulk material to a water collection system. The pivot arm may deposit the bulk material on the aerated pad. The control module may manage a temperature inside the bulk material using the air nozzle.

The disclosure relates to a composting device including a housing defining an interior with an access opening providing access to the interior, a composter bin located within the interior and in communication with the access opening, and a user operated door slidably mounted to the housing and electrically powered to automatically slide along a sliding path between opened and closed position.

A mobile system for growing microorganisms and circulating nutrients for administering to plants. The system has minimal interior obstructions that can be easily removed for effective cleaning. The system comprises a mobile structure; a vessel supported by the structure for receiving water and nutrients; a pump supported by the structure; a generator supported by the structure for powering the pump; a vessel outlet from a bottom portion of the vessel to the pump; a first discharge line from the pump extending from the pump into the bottom portion of the vessel, wherein the contents of the vessel can be circulated by the pump from the vessel outlet back into the vessel through the first discharge line; a second discharge line from the pump for discharging contents of the vessel; and an aerator for injecting air into the first discharge line for aerating the contents of the vessel.

The disclosure relates to a composting device including a housing defining an interior with an access opening providing access to the interior, a composter bin located within the interior and in communication with the access opening, and a door mounted to the housing that includes a fascia.

The disclosure relates to a composting device including a housing defining an interior with an access opening providing access to the interior, a composter bin located within the interior and in communication with the access opening, and a funnel assembly integrated with the access opening.

A composting apparatus having a composting receptacle that is adapted to hold biodegradable matter until the matter turns into compost in the receptacle, the composting receptacle having at least one aperture through which the biodegradable matter is able to be either inserted into or removed from the composting receptacle, the composting receptacle adapted to rotate about an axis of rotation.

The present invention relates to a self-deodorizing composting system, comprising an outer membrane, an inner membrane, an air-ribbed cage and a deodorizing base, wherein two deodorizing bases are provided; the outer membrane and the inner membrane are held by the air-ribbed cage, with both ends of the outer membrane and the inner membrane respectively fixed to the two deodorizing bases, whereby a closed space is formed between the outer membrane and the inner membrane; the inner side of the inner membrane is used for placing the composting piles, with the malodor and water vapor generated from the composting piles entering into the closed space formed between the outer membrane and the inner membrane through the inner membrane, so that the water vapor is condensed into the water in the closed space, and the malodor molecules are absorbed and dissolved into the condensed water, thus forming the waste water which falls along the inner side of the outer membrane and the outer side of the inner membrane to the bottom of the deodorizing bases and is discharged from the deodorizing base. Comparing with the prior art, the system in the present invention has a simple and detachable structure, and can isolate and remove the malodor and the water vapor generated when the biomass waste is composted.

An assemblable appliance and method of recycling organic waste into biogas and liquid fertilizer, implementing essentially anaerobic digestion processes, is described. The assemblable appliance includes: a pliant structured exoskeletal envelope, pliable collapsible anaerobic digester and gas tank. A compact kit-of-parts for assembling the aforementioned appliance and respective method using the aforementioned appliance for recycling organic waste into biogas and liquid fertilizer are described.

A composting bin for breaking down organic material includes a container having an interior and an opening. The interior includes a plurality of regions, including a first region and a second region. The first region and the second region are configured to support decomposable organic material. In operation, a user positions decomposable organic material in, for example, the first region. The user then provides a composting animal in the first region. The user covers the composting bin to inhibit light from entering the composting bin. Upon completion of the composting process, the user causes the composting animal to move from the first region to the second region. The user causes the composting animal to move from the first region to the second region by allowing light to enter the first region, and/or providing food in the second region while denying food in the first region.

A digester system comprising a primary digester tank containing a primary feed material portion, a secondary digester tank containing a secondary feed material portion, a first conduit connected between the primary digester tank and the secondary digester tank to define a primary tank lower opening within the primary digester tank and a secondary digester tank lower opening within the secondary digester tank, and a flow control valve configured to allow or prevent flow of fluid through the first conduit. When the flow control valve is configured to allow flow of fluid through the first conduit, a portion of the primary feed material portion flows from the primary digester tank to the secondary digester tank to form the secondary feed material portion.
