A fully enclosed 10,000 tonne per year
composting facility.
In-floor aeration allows air to be distributed
through the composting material. See AirFloorTM
Design for a 60,000
tonne per year per year composting facility in California. Our designs
meet the California's new Air Quality Management District (AQMD) air quality
requirements.

Why Transform’s composting technology is superior:
- Very cost effective -- lower operating
costs than other systems
- Small footprint -- requires less than
20% of space required for windrow composting
- Environmentally sustainable -- No risk
of ground or surface water pollution
- Odor can be eliminated resulting in easy
siting of facilities
- Facilities can be located close to the
waste source and the markets
- Year-round process control ensures high
quality composted product
- Ensures a consistent and high quality
product that yield higher returns
We
combine aeration
and turning to produce the highest quality compost
in the shortest time.
These
systems can range in size from 5,000 to 100,000 tonnes per year capacity.
Smaller scale systems are also possible -- see our past
projects. Raw waste is placed in one end and compost is removed
from the other end after 4 to 8 weeks. These systems can be totally enclosed
and connected to a biofilter in cases where odor may be a concern. Composting
temperatures of 55 to 65oC are maintained by powerful centrifugal
blowers that provide air to the composting material. The composting material
is mixed once or twice weekly using a Compost Turner.
The remote controlled Transform Compost Turner
turns the material once to three times weekly. The Turner mixes the material,
breaks preferential pathways, and moves the material down the composting
channel. A transfer carriage moves the compost turner from one channel
to the next. Air for the composting is supplied by three centrifugal blowers
to a network of PVC pipes under the composting material. The blowers are
controlled by timers and/or temperature feedback. Temperature monitoring
and blower controls can be done through computer control as well.
