Timpanogos Special Service District (TSSD) retained Managed Organic Recycling (MOR), an environmental engineering firm specializing in organic feedstock composting, planning, design, and operations consulting to evaluate the In-vessel Aerated Static Pile (IASP) biosolids compost Technology. The scope of services includes sampling and testing odor emissions generated from the process during the active phase of composting. (Continued…)

At Monolithic in Italy, Texas, a second pilot study was conducted in early October 2008. The testing was to evaluate a second compost cover fabric. This fabric will be tested and monitored for durability, tinsel strength and the ability to keep oder contained during the composting process. The second pile actually consists of organic food waste, poultry parts and cow manure collected straight from the pasture. (Continued…)

Composting is an acceptable and recommended means of recycling organic wastes and is gaining acceptance in the U.S. as a method for stabilizing/sanitizing animal wastes which includes poultry. At Monolithic in Italy, Texas, an IASP poultry waste pilot study was conducted in September 2008. (Continued…)

IASP food and biosolids composting pilot study was performed in Springvale, Utah in April 2008 by South Utah Valley Solid Waste District. (Continued…)

Compost is organic matter, such as food waste that has decomposed. It is dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling, and has many beneficial uses. It makes a great supplement for your garden and plants. In February 2008 in Dixon, California, NorCal Waste Management Systems did an IASP food waste composting study. (Continued…)

In June 2007, Soil Key organized an IASP biosolids composting pilot study in Tenino, Washington. Biosolids are the organic residuals produced during wastewater treatment. Once composted, biosolids look like other commercially available composts and are approved for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a soil amendment by home gardeners, farmers and others. Biosolids provide soils with the nutrients that tend to be deficient. These products are used in landscaping and gardening in the following ways: (Continued…)

Biosolids are the organic residuals produced during wastewater treatment. An IASP biosolids composting study was performed at Central Valley in Salt Lake City, Utah in October 2006. (Continued…)

In Martinez, California, an IASP animal waste composting pilot study was conducted at Gerlack Ranch in August 2006. Animal agriculture is faced today with discovering innovative ways to dispose of livestock mortality. This need has been brought on by the disappearance of rendering plants, concerns over burial and ground water pollution, and the economic cost and other issues related to incineration. (Continued…)

In Benicia, California in August of 2006, MOR tested the mixing of wood chunks, debris and soils to create enhanced bulking agents designed to speed the actual time it takes a covered compost pile to finish decomposing. (Continued…)
