IPS Composting System

The IPS Composting System (IPS) is an enclosed in-vessel, agitated, aerated, automated composting process with effective biofiltration odor control. The system transforms dewatered biosolids, Municipal "Solid" Waste (MSW), and, Source Separated Organics (SSO) into high quality compost products. IPS also stabilizes residual waste in Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT). A recent study suggests that IPS is an effective mechanism for mechanically enhanced biodrying of wastewater solids.

Compostng System for Municipal Solid Waste Recycling

Composting and climate change benefits is a globally accepted connection. IPS composting reduces your carbon footprint one step at a time by: 1) landfill diversion; 2) composting process control; and 3) sustainable use of organic residuals. The 2008 study, A Greenhouse Gas Emission Analysis of Biosolids Management Options for Merrimack, NH (click title), concludes that the landfill alternative would emit 3.4 times as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as the IPS composting option.

Another 2008 study conducted at Bristol, Rhode Island suggested that IPS could be an effective Mechanically Enhanced BioDrying (click title) alternative to traditional drying systems that require higher fuel consumption.
