摘要： The disclosed invention is a continuous bioconverter or dry closet and method capable of aerobically and bacteriologically converting human and other organic wastes to principally carbon dioxide and water vapor. The closet comprises a collecting vessel containing a medium suitable for supporting aerobic decomposition. In accordance with the invention, the decomposition is a substantially total conversion of organic wastes to gases. In a preferred embodiment in the closet are two parallel shafts, each supporting a rotationally mounted pair of opposing auger-type blades (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 3) which provide a most efficient stirring action, resulting in a complete and continuous aeration (oxidation) of the aerobic bacteria in the chemically reactive organic mixture. Also disclosed are modifications of the basic design wherein (a) an electric motor rotates the augers and is mounted within the collecting vessel; (b) an aerator is placed in the bottom of the collecting vessel; and (c) a vapor condenser is made a part of the exhaust system, all of which yield novel advantages discussed in the specification. In the method, wastes are introduced to the medium and continuously agitated and supplied with oxygen from the time of their introduction and for the duration of the biconversion reaction.

摘要： The bioconverter includes a collecting vessel having a plurality of stirring shafts rotatably mounted therein, each of which is driven by a separate electric motor. Adjacent shafts operate in opposite directions and stirring arms are oriented relative to each shaft moving the carrier mixture within the vessel which is in close proximity to a shaft in opposite directions along adjacent shafts. A moisture sensing device is adapted to be located below the level of the carrier mixture within the vessel for sensing the percentage moisture content of the mixture and waste material added thereto. A first fan is provided for exhausting the air from the vessel and a second fan is provided for moving the air over the surface of the mixture within the vessel. A first heating coil is located on the bottom of the vessel for heating the mixture within the vessel, and a second heating coil is provided adjacent the second fan for heating the air which is blown over the upper surface of the mixture within the vessel. A lid responsive switch is provided for controlling the fan, the motors for driving the stirring shafts and at least the first heating coil. If too much moisture is present, the moisture sensing device energizes the second heating coil and if the percentage moisture content drops to a very low value, the mixing motors, the fan, and the heating coils will be shut off.
