Composting Process

  • Chapter

Abstract

In all a total of 12 papers were presented in this session covering the process aspects of composting on both the macro and the micro scale, and addressing some of the more frequently occurring process problems. The core feature which ran through these papers was the important of a relatively few process characteristics during composting itself. Essentially these are:

  • the amount of aeration;

  • the process operating temperature(s); and

  • the moisture content of the composting mass.
