| Abstract/Contents: | Describes "a comprehenive research project [that] was conducted at the Islip [New York] composting facility to identify windrow management practices that minimize odors." Results of the first experiment to determine "feedstock mix impact on odor generation" include that "all of the wood chip/grass mixtures showed significant reduction in odor concentration between the first and second dates" and "changes in odor concentration of both leaf/grass mixtures fluctuated or decreased more slowly." Results of the second experiment to determine the relationship between turning frequency and odor concentration include: "the wood chip/grass mixtures that were turned six times per week were consistently among the lowest in odor concentration" and "the wood chip/grass windrows that were turned once a week, and the leaf/grass and all-grass windrows that were turned six times per week, displayed either a slow decrease in odor concentration or erratic fluctuations over time." Concludes that "oxygen concentration was a key factor andcorrelated significantly with odor levels" and "the initial feedstock mixture is key to establishing and sustaining conditions necessary to maintain low odor levels." Also discusses a similar experiment at Michigan State University. |
