The system must accept a food generation rate of 500 pounds per day and a total organic load of 750 pounds per day. The bulking agent should constitute 250 pounds per day of waste paper, cardboard, wood chips, shredded brush and sawdust. Finished compost should be discharged in a minimum of 28 days. Water requirements should be less than 5 gallons a day and electrical requirements should be less than 20.00 kw/day. Biofilter must be installed in system to control odors produced by decomposition and to keep the area free from rodents. No measurable odors should be detectable and the system should be virtually noise free.

System must operate outdoors in a temperature range from -32 degrees to 95 degrees fahrenheit to produce a composted material in a minimal 28 days. System should be constructed of double-walled stainless steel on the inside and burnished steel on the outside and insulated to control the heat produced when organic materials decompose. Internal parts should be non corrosive stainless steel to provide continuous and reliable service. (172)
