CONTAINERIZED COMPOST SYSTEM (CCS)
419-483-7514
CompTainer #: 8
CompTainer #: 2
The Containerized Composting System was installed in San Juan in July of 2004
for composting biosolids from a resort wastewater treatment plant. The system
includes mobile mixer and conveyor and is expandable to 4 CT-40 CompTainers.
Coco Beach was our first installation of the new CompDACs control system using
Ethernet networking and stepper motor damper controls.
CompTainer #: 8
Tri-State Septic processes 7.5 million gallons of septage per year at their facility in
Augusta, Maine. Tri-State already owned a roll-off truck for use as a collection and
tanker truck. Two years ago, it was a natural fit for them to use the DeTainer for
septage dewatering. They were land applying the dewatered cake, but it was limiting
their operation since they could only apply in the summer. GMT installed an 8
stainless steel CompTainer system to compost their dewatered septage. Now they
can process year round and make additional revenue from the sale of compost
product. They estimate that they save $ per yard with composting.
CompTainer #: 48
IWMC commissioned the worlds largest container composting system for the Province of Prince Edward
Island. The project was developed and will be operated by our Canadian partner, WCI Waste Conversion
Inc. The five acre facility in will process 30,000 tones per year of source separated residential and
commercial food waste and Biosolids in 48 CompTainers. GMT designed a new super insulated 52 cubic
yard CompTainer specifically for the project. All 48 CompTainers have a full stainless interior with a
carbon steel exterior frame and insulated with 4" of foam insulation.
Material Receiving and mixing occur in a 14,000 sq. ft. building with a picking line and high torque
shredder. A mixer blends bulk material with the organic waste and feeds a dual CompTainer loading line.
The mix is composted for 14 days in the CompTainer prior to curing. Two stages of aerated static pile
curing occur in a 23,000 sq. ft. enclosed building. The exhaust air from the CompTainers as well as the
buildings is treated with two 3,900 sq. ft. open plenum bio-filters. A 32,000 sq. ft. enclosed building houses
post-processing equipment and product storage area.
CompTainer #: 8
The Town of Chenango New York has been composting their Biosolids for over 10
years in an enclosed building. However, rapid development has exceeded the
composting capacity of the building. GMT installed an 8 CompTainer CCS to double
the Bio-solids processing capacity at the site. All 8 CompTainers have a full stainless
interior with a carbon steel exterior frame and insulated with 3" of foam insulation. The
CCS was chosen because it could be readily adapted to the site constraints at the plant.
The CCS also easily integrated with the existing materials handling for their operation.
The mix is composted for 21 days in the CompTainer then cured and screened in the
building. The exhaust air from the CompTainers is treated with two container biofilters.
CompTainer #: 16
GMT installed a 16 stainless steel CompTainer system, for the City of Hutchinson. The
CCS is composting source separated food waste and yard waste from their residential
collection program. The material is mixed in a large drum and fed into the
CompTainers in an enclosed process building. The facility is operated in conjunction
with a large yard waste composting operation and a complete screening bagging line for
product distribution.
CompTainer #: 1
GMT installed a dewatering and CCS composting facility for the largest septic tank
pumper on the Virgin Islands. The previous practice of dumping septage in the landfill
was banned, so they needed a quick solution for septic disposal, which would meet the
EPA 503 regulations. GMT delivered and installed a DeTainer and CCS system
within 2 months of initial contact. The DeTainer has been dewatering 10,000 gallons
of septage and grease per day. Dewatered sludge cake is then composted for 2-3 weeks
in the CompTainer.
CompTainer #: 4
In 1998 San Jose funded a program to provide seed money for in-vessel composting of
food-waste. BFI's Newby Island Recyclery in Milpitas, CA and Green Mountain
Technologies (GMT) teamed up to successfully win the funding for the project. BFI
has for the last 8 years operated the Newby Island Recyclery and a landfill in Milpitas.
The Recyclery includes a 200 tpd yard-waste windrow composting operation, a 50 tpd
wood grinding and dying operation, and 200+ tpd MRF. The landfill receives
approximately 3000 tpd of solid waste.
The first year design capacity is 2000 tons of food waste. During this time BFI will
collect data on the trade-offs between greater and lesser degrees of source-separation.
The analysis looked at the costs associated with procuring source-separated feedstocks
versus additional product refining to remove contaminants.
CompTainer #: 7
GMT provided a seven CompTainer CCS to compost animal waste at the Department
of Animal Science research facility of Texas A&M University. GMT will provide
turnkey construction. The system includes seven CompTainers, seven Earth Tubs,
mixer, trommel screen, mobile loading conveyor, aeration system and controls.
CompTainer #: 3
GMT has installed a three CompTainer system for bio-solids management. The
installation includes a mobile CompLoader loading conveyor integrated with a 220
cubic ft mixer and trommel screen. The CompTroller and aeration system is designed
to expand to six CompTainers. GMT performed a two-month site demonstration in
1995 to prove the performance of the CCS with the bio-solids generated at their site.

The CCS was the first composting operation to receive full certification in the State of
Vermont. The facility is a 100,000-gallon per day treatment plant. The facility
dewaters and composts primary bio-solids using a single CompTainer Plus. The
operation has been able to consistently achieve 22-25% solids cake from the
DeTainer. The cake is then mixed with wood chips in a PTO driven 200 cubic foot
Luck/Now mixer and discharged onto the CompLoader. The compost cycle lasts
between 16 and 24 days before the compost is dumped onto the old sand drying beds
for curing. The CCS has been able to achieve exceptional Quality (EQ) compost from
every batch. The compost is sold to local residents for $7 per yard.
