Composting in the Subarctic – Operations
The Actium compost drums are used in a variety of climates. In the tropical and subtropical climates, the composter is used year-round. In temperate climates, the Actium Batch Compost Drum can be used year-round because the drum is insulated. However, the decaying process can be slowed where winter temperatures are below freezing for a prolonged period. There are two approaches to maintain hot ...

Composting in the Subarctic – Materials
Determining and sourcing organic materials for Composting Along with having the right composter for the task, the Fort Albany First Nation (FAFN) community needed to determine what organic materials would be added to the Actium Batch Compost Drum and where we could obtain these materials. There are two types of organic materials we wanted to hot compost – “greens” (C:N 30). ...

Caledon Compost Facility - Case Study
About the Project The Regional composting facilities for organics, food and yard waste are located at the Peel Integrated Waste Management Facility and the Caledon Public Waste and Recycling Depot. The program does not replace backyard composting, but enhances it by allowing residents to compost materials that can’t be put in their backyard composter. Currently 9,000 tonnes/year ...

Phosphorus distribution in untreated and composted solid fractions from slurry separation
Received for publication May 7, 2009. The distribution of phosphorus (P) (water-soluble inorganic P [Pi], acid-soluble Pi, and residual P) was determined in 40 samples of solids from solid–liquid separated slurry. These were collected from separation plants using different technologies, separating by simple mechanical means, by flocculation as pre-treatment before mechanical separation or by ...

Investigations into the possibility to compost paraffincoated packaging materials
Utilisation of biodegradable materials is indispensable for effective economic operation (Soyez, 1998). However, the requirements to be met by the application characteristics sometimes prevent use of such materials. For example, packaging materials for foodstuffs, where protection of the contents is the predominant aim, are required to display hydrophobic properties. Paraffin-coated papers have ...

Odour pollution problems caused by composting activities in flanders: current situation and abatement strategies
In Flanders, garden fruit and vegetable (GFV) waste is selectively collected and composted in 7 composting plants, in six of which aerobic indoor composting is used. In the seventh plant waste is anaerobically digested first followed by an aerobic post-treatment. The total amount of waste composted was about 275 000 tons in 1997 (OVAM, 1999). The nominal capacity of the composting plants varies ...

Common Treatment Train for Explosives
In general, no single technology can remediate an entire site. Several treatment technologies are usually combined at a single site to form what is known as a treatment train. A system diagram of a common treatment train for explosives is illustrated below. Explosive contaminated soil is first excavated from the site and transported to a windrow composting site. During windrow composting, ...
