The CSS
Containerized Composting System™
 Modular
design for composting
Composting in modular roll-off containers is flexible
and expandable. Composting in roll-off containers allows enormous
flexibility in system design and operation. The same CompTainer module
can be used to compost from 1 to 100 tons per day. If odor and process
control are concerns, then the CCS is the technology you need.
Containerized compost system process
As an operator, your challenge is to keep regulators,
neighbors and compost users happy with your facility. The CCS will give
you the tools to succeed! First, composting takes place in controlled
batches with airtight vessels (CompTainers™) that can be moved and
emptied by roll-off trucks. Second, each CompTainer is closely
controlled to optimize decomposition, meet regulatory requirements and
minimize odors. The unique aeration system integrates up to 50
CompTainers into a single system. Add a small building for receiving
& mixing plus a biofilter to remove odors, and you have a completely
enclosed compost system at a fraction of the cost of other in-vessel
systems.
The CompTainer™
The CompTainer is an airtight stainless steel vessel
for high-rate composting. Two sizes are available with 40 or 50 cubic
yards of composting capacity. The patented aeration floor evenly
distributes pressurized air while collecting and storing leachate. With
no moving parts, the CompTainer is simple to operate and easy to
maintain and is compatible with most standard roll-off trucks.
 The CompLoader™
Efficient material handling keeps labor requirements
to a minimum. The CompLoader is a mobile conveyor which evenly loads
material from the mixer into CompTainers at rates up to 2 tons per
minute. The high-energy flail at the end of the conveyor breaks up
clumps to increase porosity for even distribution of the mix inside the
CompTainer. The rugged hydrostatic drive provides a complete range of
speeds for the conveyor belt and flail.
The CompMixer™
Preparing the right mix is essential for effective
composting. GMT offers a complete line of 4 auger mixers to blend
organic materials for composting. Sizes from 150 to 625 cubic feet are
available in stationary and transportable models. Weigh scales allow for
accurate measurement of compost ingredients.
 Aeration
and Odor Control
Maintaining aerobic conditions and capturing process
air are the keys to odor control. The closed loop aeration system
collects all the process air to minimize odor releases. Rotary dampers
connected to each CompTainer automatically reverse air flow direction
and regulate flow. All process air is treated using biofiltration to
remove up to 95% of odor compounds.
Compost Data Aquisition & Control System
The CompDACS™ takes the guess work out of
composting. The computer based controller regulates the position of
rotary dampers to regulate the direction and volume of process air. The
CompDACS stores temperature graphs and prints reports to meet EPA 503
requirements for class A compost.
