Commercial Composting

Commercial composting facilities are sometimes confronted with organic
wastes that are difficult to compost and also create highly undesirable
smells. Materials such as Bio-solids, (including septic and grease
trap waste), animal manures, abattoir and food processing wastes all
have their own composting and handling difficulties.

In addition some types of material such as wood products high in tannins
and resins (eg Pine sawdust) can be difficult for conventional composting
processes to deal with.

Fortunately Smellgone is able to assist with a range of products and
services that enable the processor to better handle these difficult
materials by applying particular blends of composting and fermentation
organisms with specialist equipment.

Odour problems can become a thing of the past thus reducing complaints
and ultimately producing a better, enhanced compost at the same time.

Because no “one size fits all”, please contact us so that we can develop
an inoculation program for your facility.

We can also develop an overall composting program for your facility in
conjunction with your own Consultant or our contracted Composting
Consultant. Please contact us for details.

General Information on Compost Starter/Activator Solutions

These solutions contain a mixture of live micro-organisms to ‘kick-start’ and maintain the composting process in a regular compost heap,
windrow or covered area.

The starter culture initiates the composting process and helps unlock the nutrients present in the compost material. Together with the
Microbial seeding agent a superior enhanced compost is the result, with the added benefit of soil enrichment with the full suite of beneficial
micro-organisms.

For many composting mixtures these two sprays are sufficient. Where more difficult to breakdown or odiferous materials are present,
further additives may be necessary. These include a Digester Solution for heavy duty ‘cracking’ of stubborn materials and compounds and
microbial ‘cleaning’ solutions which first attack difficult fats and ready these difficult compounds for breakdown by other micro-organisms in the
solutions.

Please contact us for details of application rates, methods and costs.

General Information on Odour Control Powder

OC Powder contains a mixture of live micro-organisms in a ‘resting’ stage on an organic medium. OC Powder is very effective in rapid control
of organic odours when applied to the entire area at the rate of 250 g of powder per square metre of effected area.

It is also a valuable additive for the inoculation of compost. However for large applications it is more cost effective to spray inoculate with
starter cultures.

OC Powder is however very useful where rapid odour control is needed in an emergency or spill situation.

Please contact us for details of larger pack sizes and costs. OC Powder is a living culture and has generally only a 6 month usable life.
It must be stored in a cool preferably dark place but cannot be refrigerated or frozen.
