Development
of Agitated Channel Turners
City of Guelph |
 |
| From
1998, Transform has been developing turners for agitated bed
composting systems. In 2001, Transform provided a turner to
the City of Guelph, which allowed them to optimize their compost
facility and receive additional organics from the City of
Toronto. Transform is now marketing three different types
of agitated channel turners and is continually providing input
to improve design and performance based on operator responses
and requirements |

an outbreak of Avian Flu on a duck and goose farm, Transform
Compost Systems provided the management, developed the protocols,
and trained CFIA staff on composting Avian Flu birds. |
|
| Optimizing
Heat Production and Utilization during Composting
|
 |
| Transform
Compost Systems is currently conducting a research and development
project for composting liquid hog manure at a farm scale.
The project includes an aerated channel system, designing
a new stainless steel mixing system, a heat recovery and reuse

Poultry
Mortality and Litter Composting during Avian Flu
Abbotsford,
BC - 2004 -
|
 |
| Transform
Compost Systems managed the composting of 1.3 million chickens
at a central location, and implemented safe and cost effective
protocols for on-farm composting of poultry litter from 20
different farms. Many of these farms required unique action
plans depending on the moisture content of the manure, the
configuration of the barns and property, and the potential
limitations to composting outdoors at each site. |
|
| Developing
Practical and Cost Effective Aeration Systems for Aerated
Windrows and Bunkersindrow Compost |
 |
| Transform
Compost Systems and its partners began developing and patenting
the AirFloor™ concept in 2001. This is a system for
aeration and leachate management for compost facilities, including
aerated windrows, aerated bunkers and agitated beds. |
|
|
Implementing
Pilot Food Waste Collection and Composting in the District
of Kent |
 |
| Transform
designed and conducted a pilot scale organic waste collection
and composting program with residents in the District of Kent.
The pilot included organic waste collection systems for the
kitchen, including testing various biodegradable bags. All
organic waste was composted in an aerated bunker and tested
for pathogen kill and quality parameters. |
