Composting Process

Industrial composting facility for the creation of quality compost

Within an industrial composting facility, a thermophilic aerobic process of organic matter degradation takes place, conducted under controlled conditions. By insufflating air into the waste pile within the plant, reactions are activated that develop heat, which, when retained within the pile, allows very high temperatures to be reached.

The high temperatures for prolonged contact times maintained within the industrial composting facility make it possible to accelerate the degradation processes by obtaining a biologically stable product, evaporate large amounts of water, and sanitize the material. Quality compost can be obtained by using agro-food waste, green waste, and sewage sludge. On the other hand, from municipal solid waste or separate waste collection it is possible to obtain stabilization of the organic matrix and production, from the dry fraction of RDF (refuse-derived fuel).
