Abstract/Contents: | Presents a pilot study on the feasibility of using high carbon wood ash to control composting odor emissions. Describes the objectives of the research being to "determine if high carbon wood ash can control compost odor under field conditions; Investigate difficulties of incorporating wood ash into compost under field conditions; Determine the effect of wood ash on specified compost product quality criteria; Estimate the traveling distance of odor emissions from a hypothetical site using a dispersion model; and Analyze the cost of odor control using wood ash versus other methods." Concludes that there were significant reductions of emission rates for most odor causing compounds, "wood ash can reduce odor emissions from yard trimmings composting facilities," that "the highest wood ash application rate can dramatically reduce the travelling distance of compost odor," and the annual cost for ash transportation would be approximately $34,000. |
