The NaturTech Composting System
The NaturTech Composting System is an in-vessel, containerized composting process using modified 20 to 45 ton Intermodal containers for converting organic resources into valuable compost and soil conditioning products. The system is recognized as a leading technology in North America for handling a variety of difficult-to-manage waste materials including food scraps and other organics from municipal, industrial and agriculture waste streams as well as biosolids from wastewater treatment plants.
The containerized in-vessel composting system is the state of the art application of forced aeration with temperature control, recognized in various studies and regulatory best management practices (BMPs) as the most advanced composting technology available as measured by the rate of volatile solids reduction and reduction of phytotoxicity effects. Over 10 facilities have been established with NaturTech system for handling municipal, industrial, and agricultural waste materials in USA and Canada.
The system was recently certified by the U.S. Navy to illustrate the advantages of in-vessel composting and to serve as a demonstration project for the entire U.S. military. A NaturTech system is currently under construction at the United States Department of Agriculture research station in Beltsville, Maryland processing cafeteria waste from the US Congress, USDA headquarters and the Smithsonian museum. Its 5 digester system in New Mexico has been expanded to a sixteen digester system. The US Navy facility at Whidbey Island, Washington has received Compost Facility of the Year awards from the Solid Waste Management Association of America (SWANA) and the US Composting Council. The Whidbey Island composting operation has received over eighteen additional awards for excellence and performance.

2. Protecting the Environment
Some polls report that as many as 87% of Americans consider themselves to be “environmentalists”. In the 1960s and 70’s, the repulsion experienced regarding polluted rivers and lakes from the sight of dead fish and closed beaches gave rise to the various clean water acts and the wholesale upgrading of our nation’s wastewater treatment infrastructure. Smog and air pollution anxieties have lead to increasingly stronger versions of the Clean Air Act. When people see a direct cause and effect relationship between paying for environmental improvements and benefits, they will pay for the environmental value. People do not complain about the cost of pollution control systems in their autos, nor do they object to their monthly sewer bills. They see that these costs improve their quality of life.
After instituting recycling programs, bike lanes and banning yard trimmings from landfills during the 1990s decade of the environment, interest in the 21st century “Carbon Footprint” has us looking for new ways to become even more “eco friendly”.
Composting to the rescue!
Organics Management strategies deals with organic materials sent to the landfill, composting facilities, or land applied. Organics Management programs involve virtually every level of local and state government. New generations of bio-processing technologies go beyond simple composting programs in ways, which when properly implemented, can clean ground and surface waters, reduce smog, support local food production, enhance parks, beautify roads, reduce greenhouse gasses, promote renewable energy, reduce wastewater treatment expenditures, lower solid waste processing costs, stimulate bio-based industries and generally enhance the quality of life in a new generation of “low carbon footprint” community planning activities.
