Organic Waste Composting
There is a Worldwide need for environmentally sound methods of recycling organic waste. Millions of tons of organic waste are produced daily in many different forms; such as, organic residual sludge from sewage treatment plants, yard waste and tree trimmings, wood crates and pallets, waste from food processing plants, restaurant food waste, farm animal waste, etc. The practices of disposing of this waste in the oceans, landfills, or by incineration are all environmentally polluting and becoming more and more restricted. Newly implemented laws favor recycling, which is simply converting this waste back into a high quality soil supplement (compost).
Open organic waste sites around the world release millions of tons of volatile organic compounds into the environment.
There is an emerging market in compost, composting systems, in-vessel composting, mechanical composting, recycling of waste, garbage, food wastes and sewage sludge. Major cities around the nation are actively searching for cost effective methods to recycle organic waste.
The major problem is that composting appears so simple and easy that many have felt that by simply making large piles of organic material and they can compost on a large scale to meet the needs of major cities.
Steam, odors and volatile organic compounds escape the static compost piles and enter the surrounding atmosphere.
The cities that have set up open pile yard waste composting facilities and are learning first hand about the difficulties of composting on a large scale. Even when piles are enclosed in buildings and material handling is mechanized, the size of the buildings required is huge. This in part is due to the slow processing speed of composting in this manner. It is also difficult to control odors, air emissions, and the low production rates. The atmosphere inside the building is laden with hot smelly steam that makes for poor working conditions; penetrating the workers clothes and corrodes any exposed steel inside the building.
American Bio Tech and it's construction partner are capable and ready to step forward to assist government in solving their growing burden of biosolids disposal by signing long term contracts to accept their biosolids waste. American Bio Tech will fast track design, build, own and operate these facilities, relieving the government body of all risks associated with attempting to find alternate solutions. The AirLance™ invessel composting technology is capable of more cost effectively converting organic waste and meeting all environmental, odor, and air pollution regulations than any composting technology available in the world today. The AirLance™ Composting technology was developed to fully address these problems when recycling organic waste on a large scale. Let's take a look at the solution, the patented AirLance™ composting technology.
