Apparatus for processing organic matter having lid and air treatment system promoting pleasant user experience

An organic matter processing apparatus (OMPA), comprising:

• a bucket assembly for processing organic matter;
• an air treatment system coupled to receive untreated air from the bucket assembly, the air treatment system comprising:
• an airflow duct assembly comprising an exhaust coupler secured adjacent to the bucket assembly;
• a fan coupled to the airflow duct assembly and operative to pull untreated air down from the bucket assembly and to push the untreated air into a manifold;
• and
• wherein the manifold is coupled to the fan and is constructed to redirect the pushed untreated air upwards through a manifold exit port and into an air treatment chamber positioned above the manifold exit port, wherein the manifold comprises an inlet port and a baffle array, wherein the baffle array comprises a plurality of baffles each having a respective curve profile including a curve radius and a height, wherein the curve radius and the height is different for each of the plurality of baffles, wherein the air treatment chamber converts untreated air to treated air;
• and
• at least one exhaust port positioned above the air treatment chamber that provides egress for the treated air out of the OMPA.
