It can be incorporated into the soil or applied as a top dressing, depending on crop requirements and soil conditions. Composting: Biochar is used in composting processes to enhance the quality and stability of compost. Its high surface area provides a habitat for beneficial microbes, accelerating the decomposition of organic ...
California Cental Valley composter utilizes the Managed Organic Recycling, Inc. Covered Aerated Static Pile (ASP) Composting System to meet Air Board regulations requireing greated than 90% capture of emissions (VOCs). System was developed to rapidly compost bisolids to meet PFRP (process to further reduce pathogens) and compost ...
The effects of three different mixtures of organic waste on composting in a rotary drum were examined by measuring changes in physico-chemical and biological parameters. ...
Oxygen Uptake of Soil and Compost Samples The Challenge AER-200 aerobic/anaerobic respirometer is ideally suited to determine in-situ rates of oxygen uptake in soil or compost samples – as may occur in the upper layers of soil under natural atmospheric conditions or in mixed compost reactors. ...
Under this philosophy, organic waste is increasingly recognised as a recyclable material, a useful resource, making composting one of the key elements of modern waste management. As the composting industry is expanding rapidly there is a growing need for a simple, fast, relatively inexpensive yet reliable method for determining compost ...
While the required amount of the macro nutrient nitrogen can easily be added to the soil by means of mineral fertilisers, there is a problem with regard to composts as the compost N is hardly calculable. The total N-content in composts analysed by Körner et al. (1997) widely ranged from 5.5 to 38.0 kg N / Mg dry compost. ...
There was a noticeable decreasing trend in oxygen consumption over 25 days of composting, thereby indicating increasing stability. Moisture content also was found to affect the compost stability. ...
