Abstract

The process of composting of biowaste, while ensuring the necessary conditions and depending on the composition of composted material can be carried out in natural conditions. If we want to influence the speed and stability of the process of degradation of organic matter from biowaste, it is necessary that one or more influencing factors control the process so as to provide optimal conditions to maintain the duration of the process. The purpose of the research was used bioreactor which provides a constant temperature outside, the possibility of mixing and wetting the compost mixture without external influence. Controlling certain parameters, ie, the influence on the way to maintain these parameters the optimum leads to a significant acceleration of the process and also to improve the quality of the finished compost with respect to the controlled process more robust to the natural process.
