30 tons less in organic waste and 4500 kg of extra compost each year at Pieve Di Cento School's canteen in Italy.
Saturday, November 24, 2012 a Big Hanna
Composter model T120 was inaugurated and immediately after put into operation at
a school's canteen in the town of Pieve di Cento, a town with about 6,000 inhabitants, located in North Italy.
The Composter was purchased by the City of
Pieve di Cento with a loan obtained from ATO Bologna (Area Authorities of the
Province of Bologna with its 60 city halls, which is responsible for monitoring
and control of water resources and solid waste).
The composter has been installed at a food
production centre operating within the spaces of the kindergarten's canteen that produces meals for the kindergarten and primary school in the town, plus meals
for elderly home care services and facilities operated by the local health
institution.
Big Hanna will reduce about 30 tons of
organic waste derived from meals production and from waste residues of
pre-school meals each year and will produce new compost in total estimated to 4,500 kg annually.
The produced compost acts as a powerful
fertilizer for the municipal gardens and
it is also used in awareness-raising projects with the children so that they
learn what waste and scrap may become: everything but trash!
This is a great example of organic waste
management, even better than recycling itself, because it will reduce the waste's
production to zero, turning it into something which is extremely useful in the same
production's place.
FEATURES
MODEL:
T120, capable of treating up from 40 to 70 kg
of waste per day, equivalent to 300-500 kg per week, corresponding to 16-26 T/
year, stainless steel Bio filter "Hanna"
CUSTOMER:
Provincia di Bologna.
FINAL USER:
Pieve di Cento Town.

Since the subject that produces waste is the

New model in the Big Hanna range - model T480
We are very pleased to announce that we now have extended our range of Big Hanna models. Many customers are looking for a solution to compost their food waste on-site having more food waste than our T240 model can handle. Our new Big Hanna composter is called model T480 and has a capacity of 800-2400 kg food waste per week. Used together with a dewaterer that capacity increases to 1600-3800 kg wet food waste per week or 800-1900 kg of dewatered food waste per week.
Respecting our environment it is important for us to build sustainable, reliable machines with a long life span. Composting reduce the carbon foot print and makes the GHG emissions calculation bottom line positive. Diverting food waste from landfill and composting it on site with Big Hanna model T480 saves up to 223 Metric tons of CO2EQ per year (or 352 Metric tons if used together with a dewaterer).
In 2006 we installed a larger tailor made version of Big Hanna called Neter 8. After more than 6 year's of reliable operation converting Kelly's Resort's food waste to compost we now include this size of cylinder in the Big Hanna range of standard composter's - the model T480. The model T480 have a 80 litre hopper with an infeed auger, same as our model T240. A binlift is available for an easy handling of the food waste at the customers' site.

Using the compost as a fertilizer provides us with the potential to enhance the growth of beneficial micro organisms in the soil in new or existing vegetation allowing more respiration in our atmosphere. Composting is therefore considered to have a positive effect on our planet helping it recover.

A perfect loop: how the Eden Project does waste
This
year we have decided to include some of our old but still good references in
our blog. Installations made in the past before we
had a blog. Our first 'oldie but goodie' is our biggest tailor made machine at
the Eden Project in Cornwall, UK. In May 2005 Susteco AB installed a
bigger version of Big Hanna called Neter30 - a 30 cubic meter (a Big Hanna T60 is 1 cubic
meter for comparison) in-vessel composter that has been taking care of the food
waste from the 1 million visitor every year at Eden for almost eight years
now.
In this movie Eden Project describes how they turn their food
waste in to valuable soil. The compost food waste is mixed with compost from
garden waste and is used to grow flowers as well a fresh food that is served at
Eden Project.
On Eden Projects website you can read about why they are composting:
'Why Eden composts
Maxine Fuller, Waste Operations Manager at Eden, says: 'The whole composting process is a great educational tool for visitors, because they see the journey of their food from the plate through to the plant. It starts as they sort waste from their trays into different containers, and ends as they pass the composting plant which has been deliberately sited near one of the public car parks. It’s Eden’s version of alchemy.''
'What comes out is a potent material that’s either mixed with soil or used as a mulch. 'Using compost made from waste to grow new plants is a great illustration of the Eden philosophy and, from a horticulture perspective, we’re really pleased with the results we’ve seen,' says Eden Project horticulturist Darren Topps.'
