Composting system

First-class climate under the membrane cover!

What nature achieves alone when organic material is decomposed over months, can be optimised and accelerated with modern technology under controlled conditions? Normally an enclosed plant is necessary for this purpose.

But not with a membrane cover made of GORE© Cover Laminate for compost windrows. The semi-permeable membrane creates a real "climate chamber" for windrow composting and is significantly more cost-effective, simpler and more flexible than a closed design

From the outside, the windrow is securely protected against the effects of weather and rainwater. Inside, the optimum climate is created that microorganisms need to convert waste into high-quality compost in the shortest possible time. The computer-controlled and thus optimized supply of oxygen via the fans and aeration pipes or aeration channels accelerates the intensive composting process to just a few weeks.

One for all – one system for everything

Raw materials for composting

The following table shows a rough survey of the different raw materials, which have been composted successfully in UTV plants, and still are. Besides an explicit process technology the ratio of mixing the input materials including the structure materials is especially important. Here UTV relies on their long expert life, manifold experiences and is certainly good as your consultant.

  • Sewage sludge
     
  • Green cuttings / green waste / green waste / lawn cuttings
     
  • Organic waste garbage can / organic waste
     
  • Pomace
     
  • Market waste
  • Digestate
     
  • Fruit / vegetables
     
  • Food waste / restaurant waste
     
  • Animal waste
     
  • Manure (chicken manure, cattle manure, pig manure, sheep manure, goat manure, horse manure, camel manure, etc.)

Please ask us if you will process and compost any special raw materials types. With the world-wide UTV experience solutions will nearly always be possible to find.

The safe and up-to-date handling of wastes

Labour protection, odours, hygiene and system advantages

A composting system which reliably detains unpleasant odours is equally appreciated by both the staff and local residents.

The semi-permeable membrane cover of the heap ensures that odorous substances condense inside it and drip back into the heap, where they are decomposed by micro-organisms.

Spores and germs, which otherwise can only be kept under control inside a closed building, are also securely hold back by the membrane cover.

The hygienisation required by several European countries (e.g. according to Animal By-Products Regulation) is also reliably achieved by this composting system as tests proved. The conditions optimised through the UTV technology generate high temperatures in the decomposition body killing micro-organisms, germs and seeds reliably.

The low technical complexity, the easy handling, the flexibility and the possibility to rent the systems are further arguments for these convincing products – delivered by UTV:

  • Integrated solution suitable for the most different raw materials and plant sizes
     
  • Modular upgrading without any problems
     
  • Fast upgrade on the same required area, fast extension of capacity
     
  • Short planning and installation times, maximal 3 months
     
  • Fast changeover from open to enclosed plant technology
  • Mobile, therefore also suitable for testing of the technology or of special raw materials
     
  • Low construction and operating costs
     
  • Easy handling and operation, trained staff necessary, but no electrician, mechanical engineer or computer specialist
     
  • Produces reliably quality compost according to the Baden-Baden Model

Reduction of:

  • Dust
     
  • Odors
  • Bioaerosols
     
  • VOCs

Frequently asked questions about composting

Composting

  • What is the advantage of composting with a membrane cover?

    The composting plant with semi-permeable membrane from UTV AG is considerably cheaper, simpler and more flexible than a closed construction. With modern technology and under controlled conditions, the natural rotting process can be shortened to 4 – 6 weeks. The GORE® Cover creates a real climate chamber and thus optimum conditions for the microorganisms that convert the waste into high-quality compost.

  • What waste can be composted?

    Sewage sludge, green cuttings / green waste / green waste, lawn cuttings, pomace, market waste, fermentation residue, organic waste, organic waste, animal waste, manure (chicken manure, cattle manure, pig manure, sheep manure, goat manure, horse manure, camel manure, etc.),  fruit, vegetables, food waste, restaurant waste.
