In-Vessel Composting

In-Vessel Composting (IVC) plants treat mixed food and green wastes, operating in enclosed systems that provide temperature and process control and compliance with animal by-products for certain food and animal wastes.

Air is introduced into the vessel to ensure optimisation of natural biological processes in aerobic conditions (aerobic digestion) to ultimately produce a compost output/soil improver for use on land and in landscaping.
