Biosolids Composting

CUSTOMER PROFILE
Town of Gypsum, CO - Biosolids Composting Facility



CLIENT NEEDS
The Town of Gypsum decommissioned their sludge lagoons and selected in-vessel composting to process their biosolids. They needed a system that could:

  • Reliably meet pathogen and vector reduction goals.
  • Control odors.
  • Produce Class A Compost
  • Operate in cold weather climates, and
  • Expand for growth


    THE SOLUTION
    Gypsum chose the CV Composter, initially purchasing three vessels, with pre-planned expansion for five more. Pathogen reduction and primary stabilization for Class A Compost occurs during a 16-day in-vessel retention. The compost is then transferred to turned-windrows for curing and stabilization.

    The compost site is sensitive to odors. Residential housing is within several hundred feet of the composting site. The ECS in-vessel system does not allow fugitive air emissions. The aeration design "recycles" as much as 80% of the in-vessel process air. Process air that is exhausted from the system is sent to a site built biofilter for treatment.

    Gypsum will reclaim as much as 50% of their woody bulking amendment using an ECS supplied live-bottom loading hopper, trommel screen and radial stacking conveyors.
