| Abstract |
A strategy for sludge composting was developed to counter the tendency of other composting systems to operate at high temperatures that inhibit and slow decomposition. This method, known as the Rutgers strategy, can be implemented in a static pile configuration to retain structural and operational simplicity, or in a more elaborate enclosed or reactor structure system. The method maintains a temperature ceiling that provides a high decomposition rate through on-demand removal of heat by ventilation (thermostatic control of a blower). Compared with the approach currently in widespread use, the Rutgers strategy yields high-rate composting that decomposes four times more waste in half the time. |
