How it Works
The HotRot 3518 is the largest of Global Composting Solution’s in-vessel composting units. Designed for larger municipalities and sewage treatment plants.
Suitable for on-site applications such as zoos and mining camps, smaller municipal transfer stations, resorts and commercial food waste facilities.
The baby of the HotRot range, the HotRot1206, is designed to process food waste from canteens and commercial premises.
High-efficiency composting of source-separated food only or food and garden organics. Quality compost requires quality inputs: just as “you can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear”, you can’t make quality compost from mixed municipal waste. HotRot offers a system designed to process source separate food waste, with garden organics and other wood wastes added as needed. Solutions are available for a few hundred to 130,000 people, primarily utilising the HotRot 3518 or HotRot 1811.
SOURCE SEPARATED FOOD WASTE
Turning dewatered biosolids into a useable fertiliser. Sludge or biosolids composting is usually done off-site at a dedicated composting facility, which generally involves significant transport, carbon emissions and costs. HotRot's compact footprint offers an on-site solution and can be coupled with dewatering systems, etc. Solutions for WWTP up to 300,000 population equivalents primarily utilising the HotRot 3518 and HotRot 1811.
SEWAGE SLUDGE / BIOSOLIDS
A unique system combining aerobic composting and anaerobic digestion operating in parallel. A system designed to optimize the performance of both processes by reducing the moisture content of material going to composting and anaerobically digesting recovered excess liquor that is free of contamination, such as packaging. Solutions for 2000 to 350,000 people.
PARALLEL AEROBIC ANAEROBIC PROCESSING
Reducing costs and environmental impacts at mine sites and oil and gas projects. HotRot systems have been employed at remote camps in different regions, such as Northern Canada, West Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific. Many sites utilise the HotRot 1811 or HotRot 1206 and can be supported by a dewatering system.
