Fully Contained Composting Process
Highly effective emissions control
New Earth Solutions uses a fully enclosed system for the composting of source segregated organic wastes. All facilities are fitted with advanced emissions control and treatment equipment.
Source segregated waste accepted for composting is fully contained throughout all stages of the process. This ensures there is no release of fugitive emissions such as odour, bioaerosols, leachates or particulates.
 Full enclosure solves many of the emissions problems traditionally associated with the composting process. Processes, such as the transfer of waste from reception to processing, or from ABPR ‘barrier 1 to ABPR ‘barrier 2 and to the grading area, take place in a totally contained environment, giving much greater levels of emission control.
In fact, the design and operation of the New Earth process was developed specifically to address Environment Agency guidance on risk assessing emissions from composting facilities.
In addition to the controlled management of emissions, the process has been designed to optimise the biodegradation process to achieve the sanitisation and stabilisation of the waste as reliably and efficiently as possible.
The innovative composting process incorporates active aeration, dynamic windrowing and irrigation. The combination of these key elements results in a process that can compost meat-included catering wastes to both the UK and EU standards of the Animal By Product Regulations (ABPR), producing a finished product that meets the British Standards Institution PAS100:2005 specification. |
