The Aerochamber Technology
The Aerochamber technology is a
purpose designed Aerobic Micro Climate
chamber
Specifically designed for the
biodegradation of putrescible organic
Waste
For Aerobic Micro flora and Micro fauna to
rapidly multiply
The Aerochamber 612 litre and 300 litre
prototypes
Large populations of Aerobic Microbial
activity is essential in the first stage of the
decomposition process for organic waste
recycling
To achieve a high Biodegradation rate of
putrescible waste, and For Greenhouse
Gas Abatement
Aerobic Microbial activity, require an adequate
supply of oxygen on a continuous basis, and a
regulated amount of moisture control
maintained at approximately 60% throughout
the composting cycle
The Aerochamber Micro climate chamber
supplies close to ambient levels of oxygen to
the centre of the composting pile on a
continuous basis, known as Aerobic
decomposition
Has a design methodology to evenly distribute
condensation throughout the composting pile,
to maintain a desired moisture level, and to
reduce Leachate
• Supplies a maximum amount of air flow to
the composting pile, to facillate oxygen
transport for oxygen diffusion
• Slumpage prevention is a means to assist
with air flow, for oxygen transport and for
oxygen diffusion
• Distribution of condensation, to prevent
leachate production and for total moisture
maintenance, throughout the composting pile
• Sealed lid and body for insect and rodent
protection
• Breathing and exhaust functions
• Hatchet doors at the base Makes for easy
discharge of compost material
• The Aerochamber Micro Climate composter
will be manufactured from heat retention
material to maintain higher temperatures for
increased Microbial activity
An Illustration (Working Drawing) of
the Aerochamber Technology will be
made available with the estimated
cost, to be manufactured as soon as
possible
A Twelve Month Test Evaluation was carried out
in Brisbane Australia in 2009 to evaluate the
Biodegradation rate of two different size updated
designed Aerochambers, using putrescible waste
From the MSW stream
The 612 lt Aerochamber Biodegraded 1876 kg
of putrescible waste, and produced 519 kg of
compost material
The 300 lt Aerochamber Biodegraded 876 kg
of putrescible waste, and produced 206 kg of
compost material
Due to a smaller surface to volume ratio, the
612 lt Aerochamber was more efficient
Both Aerochambers biodegraded
approximately seven times their volume
capacity of putrescible waste in a twelve
month period in Australia
The Aerochamber is a carbon abatement
technology with the potential to divert all
green and putrescible waste from landfill,
reducing landfill up to 35%
The Aerochamber design technologies
reduce landfill and transport carbon
emissions associated with all organic waste
management and additionally achieve
Carbon Sequestration
Landfilling 1 tonne of food Waste has a global
warning potential that creates +743 kg of Co2-e

Diverting organic waste from landfill has large
economic savings for Waste Authorities and for
Ratepayers
A spread sheet calculation shows that a return
on investment for Waste Authorities subsidising
the Aerochamber technology to their
ratepayers, will get a return on investment
within a two year period, and a non expense
credit thereafter

The Low C-N Carbon/ Nitrogen ratio of
the organic compost material produced
from the Aerochamber is a vital
component in the compost mix, supplying
a valuable Nitrogen base for plant growth,
for future sustainability and for Carbon
Sequestration
The Aerochamber compost material is a
high quality organic growing medium with
a balanced nutrient base
The Aerochamber mature compost material
yields a high production of produce to compost
volume enhancing the potential for a
sustainable future for food production and for
Carbon Sequestration
The high quality plant growth from the
Aerochamber compost material produced
strong healthy vegetables
No fungicides, pesticides or fertilisers were
used in the plant growth
To achieve high quality Aerochamber compost
material as shown, a low carbon/nitrogen ratio
material is used such as meat, poultry, fish,
vegetables and fruit waste etc, known as
putrescible waste, incorporated with garden
waste, (grass and hedge clippings etc), which
makes high quality Aerochamber compost
material
Earthworms from the garden are attracted to the
Aerochamber low carbon /nitrogen ratio rich
compost material and infiltrate the Aerochamber
compost in large numbers soon after the compost
material is removed from the Aerochambers and
when the compost material is associated with the
garden soil which instantly comes into equilibrium
with the soil




Place the Aerochamber in the sunniest part of
your garden, dig the rodent proof parameter
rim, at the bottom of the bin, into the ground
Wrap all meat, poultry and fish, in moist paper
before depositing
Kitchen waste should be well drained before
depositing
Grass clippings should be moist before
depositing



There are no operating functions required to
use the Aerochamber
Simply lift the lid, deposit the waste and close
the lid
The design functions of the Aerochamber does
all your work for you
