In‐vessel composting under air pressure of organic fraction of municipal solid waste in Azemmour, Morocco

Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the performance of laboratory-scale in-vessel composting bioreactor for the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste treatment in Azemmour, Morocco. The bioreactor was specially designed and used for this study, and it was operated semicontinuously under 0.6 bar pressure. The evaluations studied included the operational indices, the compost maturity indices and the quality of the final compost. Obtained results showed that organic fraction of municipal solid waste could be composte… Show more

“…The decrease in EC value with HRT 48 was more remarkable since the medium took sufficient time to neutralize. This remarkable decrease is explained by the volatilization of ammonia and the precipitation of mineral salts [33].…”

“…Compost’s water content is influenced by temperature and, as it distributes soluble nutrients, slows microbial activities if the moisture range decreases (Guo et al 2012 ; Varma and Kalamdhad 2015 ). Strong decomposition of waste is indicated by a decrease in moisture content since extremely low moisture levels might result in early dehydration while higher moisture levels can result in the formation of water logs and affect the composting process (Makan et al 2014 ).…”
