Envron co-operated with the Canadian Mushroom Growers Association, the Canadian Federal Government, Provincial Government and Greenwood Mushroom Farm on a full-scale mushroom bunker composting odor control project at Greenwood Mushroom farm. This work was based on earlier work conducted with the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture that showed positive ...
Odors are reduced and fly eggs die due to the high temperatures occurring during microbial decomposition. Making good compost needs the proper balance of carbon and nitrogen, keeping the pile of compost moist and adequate aeration. ...
The objectives of this paper are to determine the effectiveness of bioadditive in the form of yeasts and zeolite in reducing odour and ammonia emissions during composting and to assess its effects on the process. Two series of experiments were conducted. The higher dosage treatments reached thermophilic temperatures sooner and the high temperatures stayed longer. The application of bioadditive at ...

Utah Valley Daily Herald Article on the benifits on using micro-pore membrane compost covers when composting highly odorus material. In February of 2009 Utah Valley's North Sewer Distirict conducted a pilot study to determine the effectivness of mirco-pore membrane compost covers in reducing odors from biosolids (sewage sludge) ...
More then 5.500m² of TFS structures in a custom layout meet the island wind loads and provide a corrosive free environment while solving waste disposal on the island. The biofilter will store the compost and odor control media for 2-3 years before re-sale on the market. The compost will be tilled and blended with the media only once a year. ...

This study brought to the definition and the calculation of Odour Emission Factors (OEFs), which enable the estimation of odour emissions from a composting plant by relating the quantity of odour emitted to the atmosphere to a given associated activity. The results show that the aerobic biological treatment has the highest odour impact, with an OEF of 1.4 ? 108 ouE t−1. Moreover, the efficiency ...
Most bad odours in composting plants are formed under anaerobic conditions and often they could be avoided if detected early enough. In this project an electronic nose was used to evaluate the odours produced during a composting process at bench scale. The electronic nose consists of an array of electronic chemical sensors with partial specificity and an appropriate pattern recognition system ...
