ECSAerated Static Pile (ASP) Compost Systems

SHARE

You can rely on ECS ASP technology to be an efficient tool to control odors and make great compost. Our systems feature dynamically controlled aeration with the wide range of air deliver rates required to keep oxygen and temperature at Best Measurement Practice levels throughout the pile.  At the same time, they are the most energy efficient ASPs (measured by air-volume delivered/unit of fan energy used) in the industry.  Our dedication to continuous improvement has led to ASP designs that simplify construction, provide uniform distribution of air, are uniquely effective at controlling leachate, facilitate maintenance and operations, and will run reliably for decades. ECS ASPs come in positive, negative, and reversing configurations, and are sized and equipped to best fit your site, feed stocks, and economics.

Air Distribution for ECS Aerated Static Pile Systems (ASP)

The aeration system distributes air through the biomass to optimize composting conditions. All process air exhausts through a biolayer cover or ECS designed biofilter. All aeration components in contact with the compost’s exhaust air-stream are corrosion resistant. The aeration system is designed to conserve energy with variable speed fans, and adaptive control strategies. Motorized dampers control airflow and direction to each pile. Damper position is automatically set by the control system.

ASP Aeration Floors

ECS offers several different below and above grade aeration floors that distribute air through the biomass and are compatible with loading and unloading using front-end loaders. Our below-grade trench and sparger pipe aeration floor collect condensate/leachate, are plug-resistant, and are designed with ease of construction and maintenance in mind.

Control for Aerated Static Pile Systems

ECS’ CompTroller™ is an automated aeration control and monitoring system that is operating at all ECS compost installations. It is designed to achieve regulatory compliance; offers operators a broad range of process options; and provides each pile/zone with independent and automatic control for achieving process goals. It allows the operator to set aeration rates very low (anoxic conditions) if conserving moisture and fan power is the highest process-setting priority; or higher to reduce temperature and increase drying rates. The CompTroller™ is remotely accessible via the web and is flexible, robust, and keeps your data safe.

ECS aerated static pile systems (ASP) can offer the following standard features depending on your operation needs:

  • Excellent volatile organic compound (VOC), greenhouse gas (GHG), and odor control using process control, biolayer covers, and biofilters
  • Condensate management and collection
  • Multiple aeration strategies (see below)
  • Discrete piles, or space efficient mass-bed or bunker wall configurations
  • Accommodates growth and expansion easily
  • Compact site footprint which minimizes contact water impact and site improvement costs
  • Ability to process feedstocks at irregular loading rates
  • Automated controls to record temperatures for regulatory compliance
