Quick and Dyrty Answers to Commonly Asked Questions
Dyrt’s in-vessel composting system and anaerobic digesters are both innovative solutions for managing organic waste, but they function differently and serve distinct purposes.
In-Vessel Composting:
Method: This system accelerates the natural composting process by creating an optimized environment within a closed container. It’s designed to rapidly break down organic waste through microbial activity under controlled conditions of temperature, moisture, ph, and aeration.
Output: The end product is high-quality compost that can be used to return nutrients to the soil, supporting agriculture and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
Advantages: It’s a fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly method. Our in-vessel system significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional landfill disposal.
Anaerobic Digesters:
Method: These systems process organic waste in an oxygen-free environment. Microorganisms break down the material, producing biogas (a mix of methane and carbon dioxide) and digestate.
Output: The biogas can be burned as a renewable energy source, while the digestate is often flushed out into sewers that flow into wastewater treatment plants.
Advantages: Anaerobic digesters are excellent for energy recovery and can handle a wider range of organic waste, including wastewater sludge.
Downtime is never good in waste. That is why we monitor your on-site system 24/7. Your connected composter notifies the Dyrt engineers, who immediately run diagnostics and often resolve the issue before you notice anything.
In the event of a composter malfunction that cannot be diagnosed and repaired remotely, our robust service team promptly addresses and resolves any issues to ensure uninterrupted waste management.
