Batch Composting

1. Feedstock Grinding and Loading: An organic “recipe” (for example, a mixture of septage and wood chips) is ground together and loaded into the CompTainer via CompLoader or similar conveyor. This is the most important step in the CCS process establishing porosity, nutrient balance, moisture content, and material size simultaneously.
2. Active Composting: Fully loaded CompTainers are moved to their respective locations and connected via camlock to a controlled reversing aeration system called WebMACS. WebMACS regulates airflow within the CompTainers to optimize decomposition and control emissions. Temperature data is logged and broadcast to WebMACS online portal, giving users control and access to data anywhere within the connected landscape.
3. Unloading and Curing:Once the active composting cycle is complete (approximately 14-28 days), CompTainers can be loaded onto a rolloff truck and dumped for curing and sale. At this stage there should be no residual waste and the material should have a pleasant odor and a black or dark brown color. This compost can be used immediately as a cover mulch or can be cured in a pile for 30-60 days before being used as a soil amendment.

The fully enclosed Custom Stainless CCS is perfect for facilities handling odorous or pathogenic feedstocks such as: 

• Food Waste 
• Septage or Biosolids 
• Food Processing Waste 
• Fish Waste 

The Flexible modular design also makes it a wonderful product for clients operating unique facilities that are:

• Moving waste long distances to and from their facility
• Composting in discrete controlled batches
• Taking a phased approach to facility design

The robust Custom Stainless CCS operates at the junction of cost effectiveness and flexibility, enabling every operator to create beautiful compost from the most challenging feedstocks:

• Odor and Leachate control - Custom stainless steel CompTainers are designed to meet individual customer needs and enable efficient aerobic composting, complete odor control, and leachate containment.
• Advanced Controls - GMT’s WebMACS gives the user precise temperature and aeration control as well as live data logging anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
• Flexible Design - Each Custom CompTainer can be loaded onto a rolloff truck, enabling efficient materials handling and offsite mixing or curing.
• Modular Design - Custom CompTainers can easily be added to the system to meet growing demand.
• Durability/Reliability – With hundreds of CompTainer’s sold throughout the world, the CCS has demonstrated its capabilities and reliability over time.

ADD ONS

• CompLoader: The gas powered and highly mobile Comploader is the most effective way to load feedstocks into a vessel. The mobile undercarriage allows operators to efficiently position the attached conveyor appropriately within the vessel. The built in flail at the end of the conveyor further blends feedstocks and distributes them through the container, improving porosity and creating beautiful finished products.
• Mixer or Grinder: To optimize the composting process feedstocks must be fluffed, homogenized, and ground before they begin active composting. Through nearly 30 years of composting, GMT can help you find the best mixing system for your needs.
