O2Compost SOQ Comprehensive

After the workshop I discussed this with Peter and he agreed to come to New Zealand and help us develop and implement a positive air extended wedge composting system. Peter conducted both “classroom” and practical hands-on training sessions with our staff. We also invited our regulators to have a session with Peter to increase their knowledge of composting and to discuss the proposed changes and the expected outcomes from using an ASP Extended Wedge Method. Since we have implemented the ASP system, the issues we were having with odour incidences beyond our boundary have decreased significantly. The use of positive aeration combined with a biofilter cover layer has greatly decreased odour, both on and off site. The combination of developing standard operating procedures, providing ongoing staff training and establishing a focus on product quality have resulted in greatly improved site performance and profitability. All composting facilities have the potential to create odour but if you get the basics right, have a tried and proven system (ASP Extended Wedge) and stick to that formula, you will dramatically decrease the potential to release objectionable odour beyond your composting boundary. Furthermore the ASP system has greatly reduced our operational costs by eliminating the need to turn compost piles on a weekly basis, and by speeding up our rate of composting. This coupled with the backup and ongoing support of Peter Moon and O2Compost has proven to be an outstanding investment of our time and resources. I have regular conversations and correspondence with Peter regarding our composting process. I have recently contracted with him to come back to New Zealand this November to give further training to our staff, audit our composting process and to discuss our future plans for site expansion. Peter has transformed our operation, and has helped us resolve our odour issues. I have no hesitation recommending Peter and the services he offers.
