Abstract
A waste disposal apparatus for disposing of waste materials using aerobic decomposition includes a decomposition chamber, a waste inlet configured to admit waste materials into the decomposition chamber, a water feed system configured for supplying feed water to the decomposition chamber and a drain system configured for draining drain liquid from the decomposition chamber. The apparatus also includes a sensing system configured to sense the volume VF of feed water supplied to the decomposition chamber and the volume VD of drain liquid drained from the decomposition chamber, and a computing device that is configured to determine the quantity of waste material processed by the waste disposal apparatus from the sensed volumes VF and VD.
