Country Oaks Landscape Supply in Burton, MI has been increasing its scale of compost production. In February 2020 a Compost Aeration and Heat Recovery (CAHR) system was installed by Agrilab Technologies Inc. (AGT). Over 30,000 cubic yards (CY) of mixed feedstocks are composted annually on an 8-zone working pad. This has enabled Country Oaks to… Continue reading FAC.220-Compost Aeration and Heat Recovery at Country Oaks Landscape Supply-AC22.USCC

FAC.219-Successful Operation of a Large-Scale Composting Facility with Restrictive Air Permits-AC22.USCC
The Napa aerated static pile facility began operations in early 2020 with a hard-won air permit to accept 315 tons/day of food and yard waste, and other residuals. The primary goal of the 10,700-word air permit was to keep the VOC emission factor below 1.8 lbs/ton of feedstock out of concerns for public health. Starting… Continue reading FAC.219-Successful Operation of a Large-Scale Composting Facility with Restrictive Air Permits-AC22.USCC
FAC.218-Hybrid Approach to Composting-AC22.USCC
The presentation covers a design and operational approach for compost facilities that accept food and yard waste. Technologies to be covered include aerated static pile (ASP) systems; equipment to mix feedstocks; compost turners; dump trucks and conveyors for material handling; and, star and trommel screens. An ASP system can be combined with open windrow technology… Continue reading FAC.218-Hybrid Approach to Composting-AC22.USCC

FAC.311-The Application of Laboratory Aeration Demand Testing to Facility Design-AC22.CREF
The efficiency with which aerobic bacteria consume oxygen and convert organic matter (OM) to CO2 is the primary measure of composting stabilization rates and a determining factor in air emissions. Process conditions (primarily temperature and oxygen) and feedstock characteristics determine the efficiency of this process. Researchers, such as McCartney, Sundberg, and others, have used highly… Continue reading FAC.311-The Application of Laboratory Aeration Demand Testing to Facility Design-AC22.CREF
