Residence time and contact volume in sloped compost and compost/vegetated filter beds
Little is known about transport mechanisms in sloped dormant vegetated and compost only filters for roadway runoff. Residence time experiments were carried out in triplicate in 0.254 m wide × 0.65 m long by 0.10 m deep beds using a bromide tracer. Bed slope was 12°. Only at the lowest flow rate tested (0.276 l/min per m of filter width) were mean residence times in compost beds with and without ...

ANFIS approach to the working of a compost–heat extractor
Composting is an organic sludge management option in which volatile solids are converted to carbon dioxide and water. As the sugar cane press mud undergoes aerobic composting, the bed heats–up to a temperature in the range of 50–70°C, releasing thermal energy and the heat liberated was extracted using a heat pipe. A neural network approach is applied to analyse the data obtained ...

Dairy Farm Installations - Case Study
A 10’ x 60’ (3m x 18m) BioReactor was installed 2009 at a 1700 cow dairy farm. The BioReactor is composting dewatered dairy manure. The retention time is 4 days and there is no stabilization period. The compost is used for bedding the herd and soil restoration. ...

The use of sewage sludge compost for improving reedbeds performance
In a wastewater of medium strength, about 75 % of the suspended solids and 40 % of the filterable solids are organic in nature. The parameter used for measuring the strength and the quantity of the organic substances in the wastewater is the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) (Aggelakis and Tchobanoglous, 1995; Tchobanoglous and Burton, 1991). Degradable organic matter in wastewater, whether soluble ...
