Newest XACT BioReactor Ready To Ship To Wisconsin Dairy

XACT BioReactor's Discharge

XACT BioReactor's Discharge

The newest XACT BioReactor is ready to ship to a Wisconsin Dairy Farm which will allow these dairymen to compost the manure and sell it!  Smart thinking–because now, not only do they make money from the milk, but also from the manure too.

The BioReactor is 10′ diameter x 60′ long; it weighs 83,000 lbs; has a capacity of 120 cubic yards (based on 70% of total) and will hold 150,000 lbs of waste.  The composting protocol utilizes a 4-day retention period processing about 30 cubic yards per day.

The 150,000 lbs of manure will be turned 240 TIMES PER DAY, and will be driven by  4 Friction Drives–each one being only 3 hp.  So amazing….but it is true!

Please get in touch if you would like to see the XACT BioReactor when it is up and running or simply want to learn more.  Many thanks.  D

Compostable Diapers Easily Composted In XACT BioReactor

Compostable baby diapers have apparently created a viable opportunity for new composting business ventures since a couple of new companies in the last few months have contacted XACT about it.  It certainly makes sense given the advancement of  biodegradable technology, regulations for organics diversion and heightened consumer demand.

The BioReactor is a perfect fit for such composting because these facilities need to be located close to the collection route….in other words populated cities.   The in-vessel, rotating drum BioReactor takes up very little space and yet handles large volumes of organic waste.  Plus, the compostable diapers compost very fast with little or no odor, leachate, and emissions.  For new business ventures, the BioReactor technology is a smart choice because no additional labor is required and the overhead is minimal since the drum can sit outside–no matter what the weather.  I could go on an on, but a better idea would be for you to check out the XACT Systems website or contact us directly to discuss this further.  Many thanks, D.

Why Bury Money?

XACT BioReactor with 4D Friction Drives

XACT BioReactor with 4D Friction Drives

Why Bury Money? Why indeed!  But it is occurring everyday in every municipality on this continent.  At a time, when city coffers are dry and nobody wants to raise taxes, a good source of new revenue is being sent to the landfill and being buried.  Solid organic waste when converted to good quality compost is worth $16.00 to $65.00 a cubic yard.   Imagine what the annual revenue stream could be on the thousands of tons of organics if only it were diverted.  Then imagine what could be done with the money.

I can hear the nay-sayers now…..”but the cost of setting up the composting system is prohibitive.” As the old timers used to say, hog wash!  The XACT BioReactor Composting System pencils so well because of its low operating costs, minimal manpower, land, and energy requirements.  The typical Return on Investment for a large system is 2 years or less.  Plus, it is clean system with ridiculously low odor, emissions or leachates.  The precise engineering and robust carbon steel construction of the BioReactor provides reliable 24/7 operation. Check out the website:  xactsystemscomposting.com and read about the success stories of others who have stopped burying their money (and are spending it!!!)

Why Don’t All In-vessel Rotating Drum Composters Unload as Easily as the BioReactor Does?

Discharging and unloading compost from an in-vessel rotating drum composter shouldn’t be that difficult and it isn’t with the BioReactor by XACT.  Thoughtful engineering and unique design features make it so.  The time it takes to discharge the compost will vary depending on the size of the BioReactor, but in any case, the discharge time will be measured in minutes with no muss or fuss (or cursing or pitchforks!)  And it will only require one operator to handle the job.  If you are considering the rotating drum technology to handle your organic waste management needs, take the time to examine the ease of unloading.payday loan  After all why would you want to invest in automated composting equipment that requires manual intervention to get the compost out?

Compost From Food Waste Produced by XACT BioReactor is Certifiable!

Christina and Jeremiah Eneix of Green Earth Landworks in Anchorage Alaska purchases the compost produced by the XACT BioReactor which is owned and operated by Alaska Green Waste Solutions. The compost is produced using food waste, horse manure and wood chips.

Compost Blended with Top Soil

Compost Blended with Top Soil


When Green Earth Landworks receives the compost, it is cured in static piles, and, due to the severity of the weather conditions, the piles are inoculated with a microbial package to enhance the final maturation of the compost.  The mature compost is blended with top soil for bulk sales at the nursery.  It is also used for top dressing, erosion control socks filler.  These socks are used by the DOT which requires the compost be certified.  The lab reports show that the compost passes all the tests with flying colors!  Please get in touch if you would like a copy of the report!

BioReactor Composting System Goes Mobile

This BioReactor Composting Systems built by XACT is mounted on a rugged dual axle trailer for an operation which needs to travel from site to site–including remote locations. So, it has its own generator mounted on the front  (silver box).  The  entire system includes a  5′ x 15′ insulated BioReactor, a mixer/blender with conveyor, a control panel and the generator.  The volume of organic waste the 5 x 15 rotating drum can compost per day, based on a 4 day retention, is about 1.9 cubic yards (this value can vary depending on the waste to be composted and the length of time the waste remains in the BioReactor).  As you would expect from XACT, this mobile unit is available in other sizes of vessels and it can be made stationary as well.  Why you can even order this system with a bio-filter if need be.  It is perfect for pilot projects, R & D, institutional use, urban locations–the list goes on and on.   Feel free to contact us to discuss your next composting project.  Many thanks.  D

Field of Significance!

We got a call a while back from a very smart farmer who has been putting compost on a crop field for 3 years now.  In comparison, he has another crop field where he has not applied compost at all.  This spring when he worked up the fields, he made a significant discovery.  In the field without compost, he had to drive his tractor 2 miles / hour slower (than the composted field) and used 16 gallons/hour of diesel fuel. On the field with compost, he was able to drive his tractor 2 miles / hour faster and only used 7 gallons of diesel fuel / hour.  With the cost of fuel these days, this is truly a significant savings.  If you are looking for ways to cut operating costs, here is a sure fire one.  Plus, the in-vessel, rotating drum

When you start to calculate ALL the savings, the XACT BioReactor offers a return on your investment which out performs any other piece of equipment you will have on your farm.  If this seems hard to believe, just give us a call to check it out for your farming operation.  Many thanks.  D
