FROM THE PREFACE The main objective of composting is to transform
organic materials into a stable usable product. Often organic
materials which may have limited beneficial use in their raw state
or have regulatory disposal constraints can be transformed by
composting into marketable products. The limits on beneficial reuse
may be regulations or they may be due to the potential for
materials to be putrescible or pathogenic. Composting can be a
solution for each of these. The implementation of composting on a
large scale (in contrast to home or backyard composting) involves
materials handling. Technological implementation of composting must
be consistent with the biological demand of the system. If the
biological system is violated, conditions will not be optimized for
composting, and problems such as odor generation, insufficient
aeration or moisture, or a combination of these conditions may
result. Past problems and closure of facilities have been largely
due to violations of the biological systems. Product quality with
respect to particle size, inclusions, moisture content and other
physical aspects are a function of engineering design. A well
designed system must have the biological and engineering principles
in harmony at all times.
