AERATION IS THE SECRET TO COMPOSTING
The Aerated Static Pile (ASP) is the simplest and least cost approach to composting large volumes of organic waste materials. The ASP System is ideally suited for facilities that manage large volumes of livestock manure, yard debris, food scrap waste and other challenging feedstock materials.
NO TURNING REQUIRED
Most people believe that compost needs to be turned to maintain aerobic conditions. However, when air is introduced into an active compost pile by turning, the oxygen level in the pile drops off very quickly, often to less than 1% oxygen content within 30 to 45 minutes.
For this reason, “turning the pile” is an expensive and ineffective.
INSTITUTIONAL COMPOSTING - Institutional compost systems are like municipal compost systems in terms of the organic feedstocks that they process. These materials include landscape debris, food scrap waste, animal manure, wastepaper products, and biosolids. Institutions that can take full advantage of on-campus composting include colleges and universities, corporate campuses, hospitals, prisons, military bases, retreats, and summer camps.
MUNICIPAL COMPOSTING - Municipal compost systems generally manage the full spectrum of organic wastes collected from local communities. These wastes include landscape debris, pre- and post-consumer food scrap waste, animal manure, roadkill, and biosolids.
COMMERCIAL COMPOSTING - Commercial compost systems generally manage a narrow range of feedstock materials in relatively large volumes. Fish waste, grape pumace, fruit pulp, greenhouse residuals, and some agricultural / livestock by-products such as beef paunch manure and poultry offal.
AQUACULTURE COMPOSTING - There are
many fish farms, hatcheries, and fish processing plants in Canada. Add fish waste to a compost mix pile with temperatures exceeding 131 degrees F. and within 3-days there is no evidence of fish remains. There is no “fishy” odor and will not attract pets or wildlife. It is nutrient-rich and full of beneficial microorganisms.
VERMICOMPOSTING - Whether you plan on selling your finished compost, vermicomposting will greatly enhance its quality by allowing the worms to perform their magic in your stockpile.
AGRICULTURAL COMPOSTING - The volume of organic by-products derived from agriculture is enormous. Manure and animal mortalities are a reality for every farm that raises dairy cows, beef cattle, chickens, turkeys, and pigs. The same is true for "recreational" livestock such as horses, alpacas, and llamas. Considering the number of livestock being raised in the world today, the potential for adverse impacts to our land, air and water resources is incalculable.
BENEFITS of COMPOST AERATION
Mitigates impacts to surface and ground water resources.
Produces high quality compost in 30 - 60 day.
Eliminates pathogens, parasites, and weed seeds.
No odors, no impact to air quality, reduced volatile organic compounds and greenhouse gases.
No Vectors like rodents, flies, and birds.
No pile turning. Greatly reduced cost of labor, fuel, and equipment use / maintenance.
The Ecodrum system is a proven technology, successfully installed on poultry, hog, meat processing, slaughterhouse, hemp and food waste operations throughout world.
The Ecodrum™ suits production at any scale and provides these advantages:
· 10 years warranty on our drums (manufacture 2025 and on ward)
· Clean and simple to operate
· Low-cost operation
· Reduces odor and pathogens
· Maintains composting activity in cold weather
· Eliminates ground and water contamination
· Produces a high-quality compost used as a soil enhancer
Enhancing Poultry Operations
The Poultry industry has been our focus for nearly a decade and half. Ecodrum™ is a logical solution to address both handling daily mortality and biosecurity at the farm.
Ecodrum’s patented and automated system allows the producer an easy user face that controls the number of rotations and air, so as their volume of mortality grows, they can continue to use their system throughout the grow out.
We know poultry, and the Ecodrum™ is a practical solution for any poultry operations. In many states, producers can access Natural Resources Conservation Service funds that assist producers in purchasing the equipment.
We created easy formulas, that are now adopted by the NRCS agency for sizing your operations. We will gladly work with you to ensure the right model fits your needs.
Simplified, Funded Solutions for Hog Farmers
Ecodrum has been composting at hog operations since 2007. Our first Ecodrum™ systems went to the hog industry to assist producers with their mortality management. In 2007, Natural Resources Conservation Services approved them for funding in many states to handle hog mortality.
Ecodrum simplifies the process, by being enclosed regulates the air movement and drum rotation. This in turn creates a better compost that meets regulatory environments.
Challenges in Meat Processing Operations
Meat Processing operations, from kill floors performing primary slaughter services to butcher shops performing cut & wrap services, deal with a wide variety of deadstock management challenges. Facing continually rising disposal costs for collection services, made worse by the decline of the hide industry, have put a strain on your operation. Add in the cost of cold storage for waste materials in between pickups, and the cost can be prohibitive.
Many meat operations still resort for the burial of deadstock materials. This practice is decreasing, and in many areas being banned due to ever increasing studies which indicate decades of decreased soil viability at the surface over these pits.
Challenges in the Aquaculture Industry
The aquaculture industry faces distinct challenges in mortality and effluent management. Ecodrum has invested significant time and resources in attending industry trade shows and conducting on-site visits at aquaculture operations worldwide to better understand these complexities. These engagements span recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), flow-through farms, and open net pen operations, providing direct insight into the operational realities producers face. From salmon and trout to tilapia and beyond, the Ecodrum™ platform is adaptable across species and production systems.
Fish mortality is inherently volatile, noxious, and presents a significant biosecurity risk. These characteristics complicate on-site storage, increase pest and predator attraction, and create operational exposure while producers await off-site disposal. Disposal services are often limited or monopolized, resulting in escalating and unpredictable costs.
At the same time, increasing regulatory restrictions on the land application of raw manure are reducing disposal options while driving costs higher.
The Ecodrum family of systems offers scalable, compliant solutions for both mortality and manure management, helping operators regain control of their waste streams while reducing risk and expense.
