Composting

Composting as a naturally occurring process is as old as time itself, yet it remains one of the most challenging areas of biological conversion technology. The sheer number of variables that compost makers have to manage in order to achieve a specific end result is daunting to say the least. Composting is all about a carefully calculated recipe that optimizes raw material composition through the incorporation of technology that aligns specific biological niches with various environmental parameters in such a manner that microbial conversion can proceed in a predictable and dependable manner...

Fungal Conversion

Fungal Conversion

Fungal conversion of lignocellulosic materials is an exciting branch of the biological conversion industry as it facilitates a biological process where wood wastes can be processed in a completely natural and environmentally benign manner and where one or more valuable and commercially attractive by-products are produced as part of the process In contrast to composting, fungal conversion is a fully controllable biological process where only one specific type of fungal agent is employed to process – or sometimes re-process – the lignocellulosic material into a different state. This type of...

Overview of Convertech’s Developmental Projects for 2010

A Breath of (Fresh) Air – Finally! Article by Piet Kruger As some of you may have noticed, I have been relatively quiet as far as posting new content on this site other than updating the events calendar every so often. Fortunately there comes a time when all can be revealed and today is the day that I can at long last give everyone a glimpse into the exciting new developments packs that are about to be handed over to Waste Resolution Technologies for commercial roll-out as from the end of November onwards. Alkaline Hydrolysis Development Second Generation MAAHP Tissue Processors WRT...
