Advanced Composting - How it Works

Our “recipe” for High Performance, Forced-­‐Air Industrial Composting

ACT Recipe for Industrial Composting; One Step First: Your site!

A prerequisite is to select and build out a bin configuration to meet your waste management volume requirements.

ACT engineers and designs a bin unit that is 10’ wide x 12’ long x 6’ tall to house the Forced-­‐Air system and composting system elements. This “bin” becomes the Management Unit for the actual composting process, and to hold the waste being processed. There are many site design options shown throughout the website.

It is this Simple!

Put in Sawdust Filter on Bin Floor 2. Start Loading waste, from back to front. Turn on Forced-­‐Air system 3. Cover waste with C:N mix 1.

4. Add Leachate moisture if necessary 5. Begin monitoring of temperature

and record bin stats daily

6. Continue to fill bin as necessary

with daily influx of waste, covering with mix for each addition

7. Finish filling bin to capacity, then

cap bin with sawdust

8. Continue to monitor temp &

moisture content.

9. 15-­‐45 days later: Clean, odor free

Compost will be ready !
