How to Develop a Successful Composting Project - Compost Facility Design and More

About The Event

This presentation will provide information on the planning, design and operational considerations that must be used to build successful biosolids composting projects. Historically, one of the major impediments to successful composting facilities has been the lack of understanding and properly designing facilities to prevent offsite odor problems. This one issue has resulted in the closure of dozens of composting facilities that were otherwise successful. In the past several years, great strides have been made in the design of systems that can successfully contain and treat composting odors such that offsite odor problems are eliminated and facilities can be good neighbors. Other issues such as planning considerations, public relations, operating strategies, compost marketing, and other issues will be examined. Examples of such successful operations throughout the US will be provided.
