THE ENTSORGA’S SOLUTION

The material is tipped into a bunker from where is handled by an automate overhead crane that is moving the waste and the bulging agents (wood trimmings) into a suitable mixer. From the mixer the material is then loaded into n.10 Turtle Q-Ring^® tunnel system where remains for 15 days to undergo an accelerated composting fermentation.

The whole process is supervised by an automated system that manages the material handling in reception and all the process parameters of the fermentation system and the biofilter.

All the plant is enclosed and any exhaust air is the treated into a dedicated biofilter capable of abating 99.5% of the odours.

The plant offer excellent odour and emission controls, efficient technology, high level of automation of material handling and process reliability.

The plant construction took about 12 months and it was inaugurated on Saturday, 2016 April 30th.The capacity is 15’000 tpa of source segregated kitchen waste.
