Community Composting for Education and the Environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

West Maui GreenCycle was expanding its established composting operation to increase diversion from the landfill by working with local schools to compost their Separated Organics as part of their educational effort. West Maui GreenCycle, although an established facility, was concerned about being a good community neighbor and meeting environmental regulations as it expanded its operation. Selecting a compost system with the best available process control quickly became a very important factor in the expansion.<\/p>\n

THE SG SOLUTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Meeting Requirements While Producing High-Quality Compost<\/strong><\/p>\n

West Maui GreenCycle chose the SG MOBILE\u00ae System to scale their operation for processing the new and growing feedstocks.<\/p>\n

Of significant importance to the West Maui GreenCycle project was the capability to comply with the state and local regulatory requirements and resource efficiency:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Meeting air quality standards for odor control<\/li>\n
  • Meeting vector attraction reduction (VAR) requirements;<\/li>\n
  • Meet time and temperature requirements (PFRP\/EPA Part 503 rule)<\/span><\/span>\u00a0for pathogen reduction<\/li>\n
  • Produce high-quality finished compost<\/li>\n
  • Clear separation of leachate from stormwater<\/li>\n
  • Low power consumption<\/li>\n
  • Moisture management<\/li>\n
  • Lowest total cost of ownership over the life of the facility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
