Abstract
An apparatus for biologically decomposing a material, comprising a frame and a substantially airtight housing rotatably mounted on the frame is disclosed. The housing has a first outside surface and a first inside surface, a first end and a second end, the first inside surface defining an enclosure therein. The housing also defines a plurality of openings therethrough. A first air header supplies air to, and a second air header removes air from, a plurality of air manifolds disposed external to the housing and in fluid communication with the enclosure through the openings defined by the housing. The plurality of air manifolds includes a first plurality of air manifolds in fluid communication with the first air header and a second plurality of air manifolds in fluid communication with the second air header. Air passes from the first air header through the first plurality of air manifolds into the enclosure and passes out of the enclosure through the second plurality of manifolds to the second air header.
