Abstract

Household Food Wastes are causes major environmental problem and health risk problems during dumping into landfilling, sewage and garbage. If household food waste does not short it down in advances, it leads to huge contribution over Municipal Solid Waste. In India, nearly 40% of consumption waste occurs in current status. The present study focused on compost production using household food waste and culture mixed were pour into the fabricated bio-composter bin which can be placed in a polycarbonate dryer to increase the rate of microbial growth concentration, maintain the optimum temperature and make odor free environment. Presented design and fabrication of polycarbonate dryer assisted bio-composter model was done by using Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Further studies, a preliminary design and fabricated design were handled to take different formulation of composting ratio were incorporated and the physio-chemical testing were estimated. According to the composting observation, recovery of compost was higher yield obtained within a short period due to faster degradation with help stable microbes. Especially, this design was well planned, low cost setup approach and reassembled parts used, due to customer preference. Comparing to the different trails runs for the preliminary and final fabricated design, R1 and R4 trail runs showed 93% efficiency with minimum digestion loss and the optimized parameter value resulted for plant growth. The overall performance of this composter brings a solution for household seekers to utilize the food waste discard to zero waste success.

Composting culture food waste fabrication efficiency.
