Wastewater treatment plants go in-vessel

Article Abstract:

The Wilmington, Vermont wastewater treatment plant began processing its 2.5 tons/week of biosolids in 1994 using a CompTainer system from Green Mountain Technologies. The unit is designed to evenly distribute pressurized air and the materials are composted for 21 to 30 days. Temperatures are kept uniform by reversing aeration. The finished compost is sold to local residents for use as mulch.
