MOR’s Power Point Presentation

Image: Since 2007 MOR has provided the composting industry with consulting services and equipment to process organic waste materials into a nutrient rich soil amendment product.  MOR recommends the covered ASP technology to reduce the time required by as much as 50% over conventional windrow composting methods. The covered ASP system consists of a membrane cover and positive aeration system to supply oxygen to the microbes and control temperatures and moisture for efficient/rapid composting. MOR also provides an automated control system to manage temperatures and report results to regulatory agencies.

Utah Valley’s north sewer district, which currently composts biosolids with chipped yard trimmings in outdoor windrows, is conducting a pilot project to consider upgrading its operation. The facility produces 30,000 cy of finished compost per year, sold at $20.00/cy, and uses the $500,000/year in revenue to help keep sewer feed down, However, odors have been an issue. (Continued…)

Pilot project cuts odor, cost for humanure compost

Image: Central Valley composting in Salt Lake City — Jason Bouey of Managed Organics Recycling in California fills a bag of odor as steam rises from a pile of humanure from the Timpanogos Special Service District Thursday, February 26, 2009 at Central Valley composting in Salt Lake City. It was the 16th test since the humanure was taken to Salt Lake City last Thursday, February 19, 2009. There will be eight more tests in the next three weeks before the pile is turned. Timpanogos Special Service District is testing a special tarp which covers the humanure and keeps the odor from dissipating into the air.

A new pilot project is letting local waste managers study a new composting method that takes half the time and emits much less odor. The results will be in next month, and if deemed a success, the North County district will spend up to $2 million to install the new method in Utah Valley. (Continued…)
