Residual Waste Treatment
New Earth Solutions has developed technology specifically for the treatment of Biodegradeable Municipal Wastes (BMW). Combined with the mechanical recovery of recyclables, the New Earth system provides a total solution for the processing of residual municipal wastes.
The principal aim of the technology is to stabilise the biodegradeable fraction of the waste, diverting maximum volumes from landfill to meet the targets of the Landfill Allowances Trading Scheme (LATS). The proven ability of our technology is balanced by effective environmental controls that include robust emissions management and comprehensive treatment capabilities.
In independent bio stabilisation tests, New Earth’s technology was shown to deliver an 80% reduction in the biodegradable content of residual municipal waste.
The fully automated stabilisation process incorporates active aeration, dynamic agitation and irrigation. By bringing together these key elements, the system can deliver high rates of BMW diversion from landfill (80%), without the requirement of thermal treatment technologies.
Our treatment infrastructure ensures high levels of availability and low levels of operational downtime. Modular in design, each facility can be expanded in accordance with the increasing diversion requirements of the Authority. This staged approach helps defer the initial cost burden and allows the technology to be modified in response to changing waste composition and growth.
We are happy to host visits to the New Earth Solutions 50,000 tpa operational facility in Dorset, where the BMW diversion trials were undertaken.
