The concept of the bio-drum [in aquaculture] is based on trickling aeration and nitrification of ammonia utilizing thousands of small plastic balls [that] are contained in a rotating wire drum[,] which can be partially submerged in a fish culture system. The unit floats in the water being treated because of the buoyancy of the balls and is slowly rotated by an electric motor. 2, record 1, English, - biodrum

Sun-Mar's insulated composting drum (we call it a Bio-drum) provides the best possible environment for aerobic microbes to thrive and dominate. This Bio-drum is uniquely able to provide a warm, moist, oxygen rich environment which allows fast, odorless, aerobic microbes to degrade the waste and toilet paper back to its basic minerals. 1, record 2, English, - composting%20drum

Le tambour de compostage isolé des modèles Sun-Mar (que nous appelons «Bio-drum») permet le meilleur environnement possible pour le développement et l'activité de microbes aérobiques. En effet, le tambour Bio-drum crée un environnement chaud, humide et riche en oxygène favorisant la décomposition rapide et inodore par les microbes aérobiques, des déchets et du papier hygiénique en minéraux de base. 1, record 2, French, - tambour%20de%20compostage
