Abstract: Moisturized organic material is treated by communicating with a vacuum pump (44) to selectively reduce pressure within a vessel (12) below atmospheric pressure and to a vaporization point, such as at 30 to 17.8 C, for a period of time sufficient to create an internal pressure to rupture cell walls. While being subjected to vacuum below atmospheric pressure, the vessel (12) is rotated to homogenize the moisturized organic material. The organic material can be moisturized by non-potable water including moisture collected by a moisture collector (44b) in the conduit (44a) between the vessel (12) and the vacuum pump (44) and by chilled feed water acting as the seal fluid in the vacuum pump and heated while flowing through a heat exchanger (48) of the moisture collector (44b). Heat can be added by a heater (46) to raise the temperature of low ambient temperature moisturized organic material.
