Biodegradation of:
 | Pesticides |
| Herbicides |
| Biocide Residues |
| Organically based toxic wastes |
| Organically based toxins - Dioxins, phenols,
hydrocarbons |
| Waste from the production of explosives |
|
| The system can process large quantities of materials
- Windrows are much larger. 30 ft. wide, 20
ft. high and 300 ft. long. 3,000 tons can be handled in one windrow. |
|
| Less space is required -
The large size of stacks means that substantially less space is required
than for traditional windrows that require space for machinery access
and turning. Once mixed, our windrows require no turning. |
|
| The process is faster - Oxygen is able to permeate into the center of the windrows. As a result,
decomposition occurs, on average, 3 times faster than current aerobic
methods. |
|
| The windrows are impervious to external influences -
Because the windrows are so large, and the first few inches form a very
good insulating layer, the piles are impervious to external influences,
such as heavy rain and extremes in temperature. The stacks maintain a
relatively low moisture content and little, to no leachate is produced. |
|
| No unpleasant odors - A
further advantage of the aerobic conditions is that no unpleasant odors
are produced. Even when malodorous ingredients are added, the unpleasant
odors are almost immediately lost. |
|
| Temperatures are sufficient to kill pathogens -
The high temperatures reached are sufficient to kill weeds, seeds, and
pathogenic bacteria that may be present in the raw materials. Because
the system works from the outside inward, the pathogens are "digested"
in the piles. |
