COMPOSTING
The general goal for composting is to get the pile to an ideal temperature of 60 ℃ to 75 ℃ (140 ℉ to 175 ℉) which then leads to volume reduction as the organics degrade and gas-off, leaving the hard matter to degraded carbons and nutrients namely nitrogen, phosphate and other micro elements eventually reaching the stage of stabilization.
The System effectiveness is measured by three criteria:
- The speed to achieve ideal temperature;
- Shortening the duration for volume reduction;
- The quality of the stabilized material fertilizer.

Heap Method: | In Vessel Method: | Wind Rows Method: |
By just piling leaves and grasses. This is a slow method that can take many months to a year and the reaction would end up with a slimy, moist gooey mess due to lack of aeration. Therefore, it is a common practice to bulk-up the pile with coarse material like wood chips to allow air circulation. BACTREAT-COMPO should be sprayed on the pile as it is created and churned periodically in order to get more even distribution. | Like a bio-reactor, the compost is tumbled into a container, or more periodically moved from one container to another. This mixes the compost, aerates and allows for settling. Compost can be generated in a month. BACTREAT-COMPO can be applied when the compost is being moved or agitated. | Using tractor-like machines, the compost is chopped and mixed as the machine moves over the compost, leaving piled rows. The compost is usually turned periodically, allowing reaction similar to in Vessel Method. Wind Rows Method takes 45 to 90 days normally. BACTREAT-COMPO can be applied through the sprayer attachment to the rows as they are being formed. |
BACTREAT-COMPO should reduce the time for composting by 35 to 50% | BACTREAT-COMPO should reduce the time for composting by 20-25% | BACTREAT-COMPO should reduce the time for composting by 30 to 40% |
