GICOM In-Vessel Composting Plants
Input Materials
Composting / MSW
| Composting period | 5-7 days |
| Dry matter content | 80-85% |
| Mass reduction | 35% |
| No pathogens | |
| Odour free |
Handling
The MSW is screened at 70 mm and brought into the tunnel without the need to improve the structure. The handling takes place automatically and as an alternative, it can be done with a loader. There are 3 possible goals:
- Production of fuel (RDF)
- Production of compost (soil improves, landscaping)
- Production of first class compost (gardening, nursing)
Retention time in tunnel depends on the set goal.
Composting / Biological Drying of Sludges
| Composting period | 7-14 days |
| Dry matter content sludge | 18-25% |
| Dry matter content compost | 60% |
| Overall mass reduction composting | 85% |
| Organic matter reduction | 60% |
| No pathogens |
Handling
The sludge is mixed with f.e woodchips, sawdust and freshmade compost to improve the structure. The handling of the sludge mixture is done automatically, as an alternative it can be done with a frontend loader. The compost can be used for agricultural purposes and landscaping or as a daily and/or top cover on landfills.
Agricultural Waste
| Composting period | 5-7 days |
| Dry matter content | 80-90% |
| No pathogens | |
| Odour free |
Handling
On a daily basis the manure is transported into the tunnel where the composting process takes place. Depending on the type and the composition of the manure, one can add a processing step to the process (for example mixing).
The exhaust air coming from the process needs to be cleaned with a (chemical) scrubber and a biofilter.
