Organic Waste Composting Machine

The university has established a project to manage organic waste at the source by campaigning for the separation of food waste in office buildings, dormitories, academic buildings and cafeterias within the university and bringing it into the process using organic fertilizer production technology through a prototype machine employing a vertical stirred aeration organic fertilizer production system SUT-MBT Pilot Plant with a capacity of 0.5 Tones/Batch (8 m3). It defines the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio) used for decomposition in the fermentation process. It has a fermentation period of 45-60 days (about 6-8 weeks) and controls the system's temperature to be within a range suitable for microbial working conditions. The temperature is controlled to a range of 60 degrees Celsius.
