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
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!
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
Mobile BioReactor
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. After all why would you want to invest in automated composting equipment that requires manual intervention to get the compost out?
BioReactor Discharges Compost Easily
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
XACT BioReactor Composting Manure
BioReactor can turn your manure into pathogen free compost in 3 to 4 days which can also be used as bedding for the herd as well as a soil amendment. 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
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.
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!
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
XACT BioReactor
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
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

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!!!
