ORGANIC WASTE TREATMENT

Organic Waste Bio-Methanisation

Bio-methanisation – the natural decomposition of organic matter is controlled in an anaerobic digester at thermophilic temperatures to produce quality compost.

The technology has the advantages of shorter decomposition time, smaller plant footprint, elimination of odours and production of bio-gas for the generation of electricity and heat.



Organic Waste Composting

Composting – the natural decomposition process of organic matter is harnessed to treat domestic, commercial, industrial and agricultural organic waste.

Being a biological process, the technology can assist to accelerate the process and improve the quality of the end product, i.e. compost. IUT’s composting technology includes windrows on ventilated floors, composting in boxes, the Rotte-Filter process and dynamic composting systems.



LANDFILL ENGINEERING

Landfill Remediation

The “SMELL WELL System” is the global leading technology that is able to stabilise and reduce odorous gases and methane emissions from landfills. This unique patented system guarantees safe, unimpeded work on the landfill.

Air is sucked in through a biofilter and forced into the landfill, while the gas present in the landfill is extracted and purified by other biofilters.

Once stabilised, IUT’s suite of sorting equipment & capabilities enable the landfill to be mined, its contents treated, separated and sorted by type including recyclables, waste derived fuel and earth materials. Once remediated, the landfill area can then be redeveloped for other purposes.



Landfill Gas to Energy

Through a piping system and gas blowers, landfill gas is extracted and fed into gas engines for power generation.

Landfill gas management is key for prevention of fires, odour management and reduction of green house gases.
