Step 1: Add Microbes
When you initially activate the Aerobic Digester after installation, add the BioStar Accelerator and liquid enzyme to the machine.
This procedure is required only when the Aerobic Digester signals a need for a refill, typically every 4-6 months.
Step 2: Input Food Waste
After adding the BioStar Accelerator and Enzyme 159, you can continuously input food waste into the Aerobic Digester, as the machine operates on a continuous feed system.

Step 3: Decomposition
Allow the Aerobic Digester the approximate time ranges to effectively decompose the food waste.
Step 4: Discharge Grey Water
The resulting gray water is gravity-fed from the Aerobic Digester's drain pipe into the wastewater system.
Food Decomposition Summary
Step 1: Disperse Fat and Grease First, fats and grease are distributed throughout the solution to increase their exposure and facilitate further breakdown.
Step 2: Molecular Division Each dispersed fat and grease molecule undergoes a division process, breaking down into smaller components such as fatty acids and triglycerides. This step is crucial for preparing the molecules for deeper transformation.
Step 3: Further Disintegration The separated fatty acids and triglycerides continue to undergo further disintegration, making them more amenable to chemical reactions and subsequent processing.
Step 4: Cleavage of Molecular Bonds In this stage, the bonds between hydrogen and carbon atoms within the fatty acids and triglycerides are severed. This reaction is essential for transforming the fatty acids and triglycerides into simpler molecules.
Step 5: Conversion to Carbon Dioxide and Water Finally, through a process known as TCA (tricarboxylic acid) metabolism, the now simpler molecules are transformed into carbon dioxide and water. This metabolic process completes the breakdown, ensuring that the fat and grease are fully decomposed and can be safely eliminated.
