Vermicomposting of organic wastes using Eisenia foetida (Savigny)
An experiment was carried out in vermibeds to evaluate the suitability of organic wastes for vermicomposting using Eisenia foetida. The results indicate that nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were maximum in the vermicompost formed from treatment T12, followed by T3. Calcium and sulphur were observed maximum in T3. T9 registered maximum magnesium content, followed by T8. There was also a ...

Organic Waste Compost Turning Equipment for sale in the United States - Case Study
It is not a good idea to dump organic waste into landfill and let it putrefy, as they poison the land and water-tables and release methane. In the process of economy development, people are keeping looking for effective ways to recycle the organic waste produced and collected every day. Compared with land-filling, composting is obviously a better alternative. Jack, one of our American customers, ...

Conversion of solid organic waste into compost using Trichoderma spp. and its application on some selected vegetables
This study was conducted to evaluate the potentiality of Trichoderma species as a bio-conversion agent for composting of solid organic waste and examine the effects of produced composts on the growth of two types of vegetables. The experiments were conducted both in vitro and in vivo processes. In vitro conversion of solid organic waste, the highest height and weight losses were found 42.64 ...

Compost based products: history, recent activities, chances
The amount of compost originating from source separated organic household waste collection in Germany is still increasing. At the end of the year 1997, app. 3.0 to 3.5 millions Mg fresh matter of non-mature and mature compost were produced in 515 composting plants with an input of respectively more than 1.000 Mg organic waste per year in Germany. According to Mellen (1998) an estimated 27% of the ...

Relative efficacy of two methods of vermicomposting for bio-degradation of organic wastes
Two methods of vermicomposting were used for the bio-degradation of organic wastes, viz., the pit method and the heap method. The efficacy of these two methods was compared under field conditions over three seasons (winter, summer and rainy) by using one of the most promising composting worm species, Eisenia fetida. One hundred adult earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were released in each pit and heap. ...

Effects of C/N ratio on mixed organic waste composting in a rotary drum composter
Effects of Carbon to Nitrogen (C/N) ratio on the rotary drum composting of organic waste were examined by measuring changes in various parameters. It was observed that time courses of four C/N ratios: 16, 22, 30 and 38 were different. Initial C/N ratio 22 produced high-quality compost (total nitrogen-2.1%, total phosphorus-4.3 g/kg) within 20 days. While in case of C/N 16, compost yields 1.8% ...

Resort Hotel Composting Food Waste in Cancun, Mexico - Case Study
Food waste composted with the in-vessel composter by XACT is solving the organic waste problem of an 8,000 room hotel in Cancun, Mexico. The Cancun Palace Resort generates 2500 tons of organic waste per year, and they wanted/needed to reduce their high waste haulage costs and landfill tipping fees. In addition, the hotel management wanted to take meaningful action to reduce their GHG emissions. ...

The new Austrian compost ordinance - a comparative study of compost quality policies and the legal framework in the european union
The European Commission is planning to elaborate a directive on the production and use of compost. In advance Austria seized the opportunity to support the Commission in its endeavours and arranged the Symposium 'Compost - Quality Approach in the European Union' in Vienna in October 1998. The aim was to provide a comprehensive information of the technical and organisation background of separate ...

Application of different organic wastes on soil properties and wheat yield
Fresh and composted organic wastes [beet vinasse (BV), sewage sludge (SS), and a cotton gin crushed compost (CCGC)], were applied for 4 yr to a Typic Xerofluvent in dryland conditions near Seville, Spain. Organic wastes were applied at rates of 5, 7.5, and 10 Mg organic matter ha–1, respectively. The effect on the soil's physical properties, soil microbial biomass, and six soil enzymatic ...

Waste Management a Problem & Organic Waste Composters a Solution
What would it be like to wake up one day to a planet free of trash and other debris? You can know that this vision is a theory based on your present knowledge of the scenario. Because we’re still more concerned with increasing production than reducing or simply controlling the waste that results, we’ve created this situation. Try to imagine a world populated ...

Beer: Making Bread And Mushrooms
A traditional brewery of today (see model of traditional brewery below), that brews beer according to the German purity standards, produces beer, but also produces organic waste streams and lost energy. This waste from the brewery is organic material which means that its polluting effect could be seen as minimal. However, given the quantity of water needed for the large volumes of beer produced ...

Earthworms helping economy, improving ecology and protecting health
Earthworms can treat organic garbage, livestock manure and poultry droppings and turn them into premium organic fertilisers, because humus only exists in earthworm feces and castings, compared with other fertilisers. Earthworms can also supply quality animal protein as feed, and offer the best raw materials for the biochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Vermiculture should be put into a whole ...

Effect of different forced aeration methods on Vertical temperature distribution and reaction rates During composting
The application of forced aeration, namely in the upflow (blowing) or downflow (suction) mode has been increasing in modern composting processes. These aeration modes often create a sharp temperature gradient in the composting mass. Examples of widely varying temperatures at different layers of controlled and non-controlled aerated piles have been reported frequently (Fernandes et al., 1994; ...

Biodegradation of water hyacinth, sugarcane bagasse and rice husk through vermicomposting
Water hyacinth, sugarcane bagasse and rice husk are major bio-organic wastes causing severe environmental problems. For their biodegradation, Eisenia fetida was used as a vermicomposting worm in outdoor open field conditions. The above wastes were mixed separately with fresh cow dung in the ratio 1 : 5 (by weight). The mixtures were vermicomposted for 90 days in pits of size 2 × 0.5 × 0.6 m (l × ...

Bio-conversion of organic waste using composting technologies – a review
Composting is nowadays evolving as a highly technical process for processing organic waste separately replacing landfilling along with municipal solid waste. Vegetable waste with high organic content can be composted to produce nutrient rich material that can work as soil conditioner instead of dumping in open landfills. Various studies reveal that due to high organic content of vegetable waste ...

Experimental investigations to evaluate benefits of using compost amendments to modify expansive soils
Composting is a successful method of recycling organic waste materials such as yard trimmings, municipal biosolids, animal manure and organic urban wastes into stabilised materials that could be used for bioremediation, erosion control, landscaping, and roadside vegetation. The process of organic wastes composting is expanding rapidly in the USA and other countries since landfill spaces for ...
