WORMLESS DIGESTERS

Indoor Composters - Residential Duty

For people who are turned off by the idea of sharing their indoor space with worms, there are several new wormless composters on the market. Like outdoor composters these products perform aerobically, using oxygen, moisture, and heat to break down food and paper wastes. They should be considered distinct from aerobic digesters (see glossary). These products are attractive, fully automated and ventilated, require a minimum of maintenance, and use very little electricity.

Bioreactor

Indoor composting can also be done in bioreactors. A bioreactor can be defined as a contained structure in which chemical reactions are carried out through biological action of living organisms and microorganisms such as bacteria. Whole cells or cell-free enzymes transform raw materials into biochemical products and/or less undesirable by-products. The process can be aerobic or anaerobic. With biodigesters, the process of decomposition is usually anaerobic and produces methane as a byproduct. As such, bioreactors serve the dual functions of waste disposal and waste-to-energy units. A bioreactor can range in size from a small container to an entire building, and hence it can be just as useful in rural Nepal as in New York State, in academic settings as well as scientific or domestic ones. Some examples are garbage can bioreactors, soda bottle reactors, and high-tech bioreactors. Please click on the linked photos to below for more information.
