Devourer Tank
this device was produced during the New Republic for the automated disposal and recycling of organic material, especially on worlds like Coruscant where garbage disposal was extremely important. Organic material was collected and placed into the tank, which was essentially a vat of viscous "goo" that broke down the organic material. Every so often, the goo was pumped out of the tank, and the inorganic sludge at the bottom was scraped out, in order to maintain the tank's effectiveness. The goo which was placed in the tank was barely aware of its surroundings, and the individual molecules could work together to grasp at organic material and drag it into the tank. The devourer tank's goo was a modified version of the devourer organism developed to scrub Coruscant's air.
