ORGANIC WASTE CONVERTER (OWC) IS AN IDEAL SOLUTION - Redefined
Posted: Oct 10, 2018
How does organic waste convert to compost?
Composting is a way to treat solid waste so that microorganisms break down the organic material, helping along the natural process of decay until it can be carefully handled stored & applied to the atmosphere.
The composting process needs organic waste, such as leaves, grass, fruit & vegetable scraps, soil (which contains microorganisms), water & oxygen. The microorganisms eat the organic waste, breaking it down into its simplest components. The humus (finished compost) they produce is rich with fiber & inorganic nutrients, such as phosphorus, potassium & nitrogen & it makes a natural fertilizer that is beneficial to the surroundings. In order to produce this humus the microorganisms require water as do all living things & oxygen for aerobic respiration. The microorganisms access this oxygen when you turn over the compost every day or two. In the respiration process they give off heat (temperatures of up to 150 degree Fahrenheit or 66 degrees Celsius) & carbon dioxide. If you regularly water & turn the compost in your compost bin or pile, the compost can absolutely decompose in just two to three weeks. Otherwise it can take months to decompose.
Aside from regular turning & watering (so that the mixture is moist but not too wet), your compost requires enough soil (so it has enough microorganisms) & the right ratio of carbon to nitrogen (about 30:1). The smaller the pieces in your compost bin the faster they will break down. The food web or organization of organisms, within your compost pile helps to increase the ability of the decomposing process. The food web includes fungi & bacteria that break down the organic matter in your trash; protozoa, nematodes (small worms) & mites that feed on the fungi & bacteria & invertebrates, such as beetles, sow bugs & millipedes that feed on the protozoa, nematodes’ & mites. Biodegradable waste includes any organic matter in waste which can be broken down into carbon dioxide, water, methane or simple organic molecules by micro-organisms & other living things using composting, aerobic digestion, anaerobic absorption or similar processes. In waste management it as well as includes some inorganic equipment which can be decomposed by bacteria. Such equipment includes gypsum & its products such as plasterboard and other simple organic sulfates which can decompose to yield hydrogen supplied in anaerobic land-fill conditions. In familial waste collection the scope of ecological waste may be narrowed to contain only those degradable wastes capable of being handled in the local waste handling amenities. In many parts of the residential world ecological waste is separated from the rest of the waste stream, either by separate herb-side collection or by waste sorting after collection. At the point of collection such waste is generally referred to as green waste. Removing such waste from the rest of the waste stream considerably reduces waste volumes for disposal & also allows ecological waste to be composted.
