Compost process conditions determine air emissions. Measuring and controlling these conditions is straight forward and cost-effect. Measuring air emissions, while scientifically interesting, is expensive and the accuracy of standard source testing methods is not well understood. Regulations that focus on the quality of process conditions can be effective and helpful.Speakers: Tim O’NeillDuration: 28 minutesCredits: 0.5Member… Continue reading PRO.312-Research to Improve Compost Facility Air Emissions Permitting-AC23.CREF
