35% Solid Content is Ideal for Composting

If you are mulling over the possibility of composting solid organics, please do  check with any composting authority such as the Composting Association of the UK, Cornell University, or the US Composting Council.  There you will learn that the ideal dry matter content for successful composting of any organic material  is 35%.   If, in your operation, the dry matter is lower, you will also find an abundance of information about suitable amendments and much, much more.   Good information is at hand, so seek it out.  It goes with out saying, if XACT can be of any help, please feel free to give us a shout.  Many thanks.  D

Composter Ideal For Schools’ Green Initiatives.

Compact BioReactor with Mixer & Generator on Trailer

Compact BioReactor with Mixer & Generator on Trailer

Compact BioReactors like this one can have a big impact on a school’s organic waste management challenges.  It has fast throughput, produces stable compost in 4 to 7 days, produces no odors or emissions.  It is suitable for situations where 1 to 4 cubic yards of waste need to be processed daily.  This BioReactor has a friction drive and it is powered by a 1.5 hp motor.

This technology is ideal for schools or universities.  If you are concerned about teaching good environmental values and indeed acting in an environmentally responsible way, then the BioReactor could be just what you need.  Why not consider this unit for a pilot project.   As you can see, the footprint required is pint sized, and it is easy to use, clean and quiet to operate, and controls odors.  The opportunity to save hauling costs and enhance your “Green” image is available now…so why not find out a more.  It would be my pleasure to help answer any questions about how the BioReactor can enhance your leadership in the community and commitment to the environment.

Compost the Residue From Anaerobic Digester

If you compost the residue from the anaerobic digestion process with XACT’s BioReactor, then you will be extracting all the value from the waste.  After all, isn’t that what we are going for?  The extraction of methane and generation of electricity is great as far as it goes, but there is tremendous value still remaining in the waste from this process.  Taking advantage of this value is easy with the composter by XACT.  The resulting compost is bankable both from a commodity point of view and soil amendment point of view.

Compost made by the BioReactor is high quality therefore demanding a higher price than average.  Or, it replaces sand or sawdust as a bedding material therefore eliminating out-sourced bedding material.  Or, compost reconditions crop fields (with numerous benefits) so that fertilizer costs will be reduced.  So, please consider composting as the final stage of  the anaerobic digester process and reap ALL the benefits.  Leave nothing to waste!

Compost Massive Volumes of EFB With the XACT In-Vessel Rotating Drum Composter

The massive volumes of Empty Fruit Bundles (EFB) created in the processing of palm oil can be composted successfully creating high quality organic fertilizer.  This organic fertilizer can then be applied back onto the soil at the plantation.  Because this organic fertilizer is an excellent soil amendment and very beneficial for plant growth, the need for commercial fertilizers is eliminated.  Given the tremendous costs of fertilizer, the cost saving is significant.  The elimination of the expense of commercial fertilizers goes straight to your bottom line, and within very short order, the payback on the XACT BioReactor is realized.  Please do investigate our website www.xactsystemscomposting.com for more information and we would welcome any questions you may have.  Many thanks….Doreen

The “NOW” Composter

Are you frustrated with the tremendous amount of organic waste created in our communities along with the persistent total lack of creativity in ways of disposing of it?  Perhaps the answer to this problem can be found in the wisdom of 2 ideas. 1) Think Globally, Act Locally. 2) Grassroots Action. At XACT Systems, where I work, we offer a composting system that will allow you to take action now with an environmentally and economically viable system – on a extremely small footprint – handling the amount of waste per day that you need to – odor control up the wazoo – within the confines of your community. At the core of the system is the BioReactor which converts organic waste into compost NOW. Your concern is our concern and that is why the XACT BioReactor was created….to be part of the solution. I would be very grateful, if you would take a look at this system when you get a free minute. Many thanks.  D

Composting Facility Design Composts 2 Separate Waste StreamsUsing 4 BioReactors by XACT

A composting facility design using 4 XACT BioReactors accommodates 2 different waste streams.  In this situation, the waste streams are biosolids and mixed solid organics.  Note the building in the foreground which has a wall dividing the tipping floor which keeps the waste streams separate.  The 2 vessels on the left compost one type of waste while the 2 on the right compost the other waste stream.  In this case, the discharged compost needed to stored for a period of time so it is automatically conveyed into the building in the background for that purpose.   One of the requirements of this facility being built is this jurisdiction was that there be odor control technology included.  Therefore there are 2 biofilters: one services the waste receiving building and the other services all the drums.    If you are thinking about how to design your composting facility, please give us a call.  The design possibilities know no limits.  Thanks so much for your time and consideration.  Doreen

XACT BioReactor Debuts in Brazil

Intecnial Debuts XACT BioReactor

Intecnial Debuts XACT BioReactor

The XACT BioReactor had its debut in Brazil at the MERCOAGRO 2010 trade show this past week.  Our Brazilian partner, Intecnial, conducted many consultations about the remarkable composting that can be achieved with the BioReactor.  Well established in the construction and engineering industry and in a broad spectrum of sectors, Intecnial S.A., a company with over 2000 employees,  is now seriously involved in large scale organic waste composting projects.  And rightly so–Brazil has a population of 190 million people, and has a growing economy currently ranked 8th in the world.  With it’s fast growth, Brazil’s economy is projected in the decade or so to rank among the top 5 in world.  Intecnial’s leaders realize that with prosperity comes waste–and lots of it.  Because the in-vessel, rotating drum composter technology by XACT offers a sustainable management strategy to reliably and hastily convert solid organic waste to great compost with beneficial properties, it is an excellent “fit” for Intecnial’s and Brazil’s future.  Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it!!!

What is the Target for Your Community to Divert Solid Organic Waste From Landfills?

Many communities have set higher standards for waste diversion, yet have not achieved them for one reason or another.  What is the target for your community to divert solid organic waste from landfills?  Is there progress being made towards meeting those goals?   If not, what or who are the obstacles standing in the way?

Composting projects should be getting quicker approvals than they are .  How can we move these projects forward?

Many thanks, and keep in touch.  D
