Composting
  Our
personnel have been actively involved in all aspects
of composting organic residues since the early 1950s.
The firm has conducted work dealing with composting
in the United States and other countries and is internationally
recognized for its expertise in the field.
We
are thoroughly familiar with the properties of the
materials to be composted and with the degree of preparation
that is necessary for the various uses and markets
for the compost product. We have worked with facilities
ranging in scale from about 10 tons per month to 700
tons per day. We have also worked with various systems,
either windrow or enclosed, and are thoroughly familiar
with the advantages and disadvantages of the designs,
as well as their potential environmental impacts.
Members of the company have evaluated entire systems
in terms of technical, financial, and environmental
viability.
| Private
Client -- A design and permitting documents
are being prepared for a large-scale biosolids
composting facility. The work includes development
of design criteria and performance objectives,
as well as analysis, selection, and specification
of the composting technology, the environmental
control systems (including those for odor control),
the pre-processing system for green waste and
other bulking agents, and the post-processing
system for the compost. The firm also is developing
the resource and infrastructure requirements,
and operating plan for the facility. In addition
to the design work, the firm is assisting in the
preparation of the environmental assessment and
is serving as liaison with the pertinent government
agencies that issue permits for construction and
operation. |
| Private
Client, Mauritius -- Members of CalRecovery
served as an independent evaluator of a comprehensive
study to evaluate the marketability of compost
produced from yard waste. The work included a
review and suggested modifications of all the
tasks conducted for the analysis (survey of potential
compost users, technical evaluation of yard waste
composting, economic analysis of the process,
and recommendations for the establishment of a
pilot composting operation). |
| U.S.
EPA -- A design manual for composting
yard waste and MSW was prepared for municipal
officials and designers to allow them to develop
a composting program suitable to their needs.
The design manual discusses the composting process,
materials most suitable for composting, factors
that affect composting, as well as cost and environmental
impacts. |
| City
of Santa Rosa, California -- CalRecovery
assisted the City in the implementation of its
biosolids co-composting facility. The work included
an analysis to select a bulking agent, preparation
of a plan for startup operations (scheduling,
feedstocks, pre-processing requirements, performance
monitoring, curing and post-processing, and odor
control), and an analysis of potential regional
markets for the finished product. |
