The final product is almost one hundred percent organic matter and 30% lighter in weight than the previous compound, which will improve your marketing to increase its purity by the new investment of 1.3 million euros financed by the Regional Government .
Councilman Environment of the City of Lorca, Melchor Morales, has reported that the Waste Management Centre of the town, under the municipal Limusa, has since the second week of August with the new line of refining compost facility ensuring the quality of a final product intended primarily to enrich soils in organic farming as recovery.
The cost of this new infrastructure, assumed entirely by the Autonomous Community was around 1.3 million, and with this investment completed in the first week of August is expected annually about 5,000 tons in good condition for sale.
Morales explained that "the main feature of this action is to achieve a qualitative leap in production, thanks to its ability to transform the rest of the household waste fraction, that is, which has been extracted and the recoverable material in one type of substrate comprised almost one hundred percent organic matter. And takes another step on the tacit commitment to recovery of waste and therefore minimizing the spill, central objective of this center. "
This performance is achieved through a fully automated processing line that feeds the composting of organic matter by aerobic process.
This product carries with glass debris, stones and small packages which pass the first selection screen, among others.
Refining the new line is responsible for extracting all of these elements and improper leave a clean compost and thus more useable, in order to market for agricultural use.
In fact, the previous installation of composting was achieved to obtain a third of usable material against just over one-fifth that reveals new line of refining, but this weight loss is the result of the extraction of inappropriate materials previously sneak into the final product by the lack of a more efficient plant treatment product, which gave it more weight but lower quality.
Technically, this is a unique fully automatic processing line sheltered from the weather by a roof.
A feed hopper enters the current air fermented in new facilities annexed to the compost area.
The conveyor belt entered the field in making the first trommel screen.
It packs small, stone, plastics and other debris that have escaped selection line treatment of residual fraction inaugurated in May 2013 remain.
Less weight, better quality
The smaller fraction continues its process to the table separator, machinery at the end of the process which combines the effects of three treatments, the vibration, the sieve and the aeration, whereby it is possible to separate the end product heavier waste such as stones and glass.
Since its launch and in just eight working days this August have resulted in about 200 tons of compost added to the line of work obtaining 37.360 kilos of finished compost almost 100% organic.
These data imply that 23% of the original organic matter mixed with other debris and compost becomes refined and more efficient in its function as a regenerating land.
The raw material used comes exclusively from municipal solid waste generated in the municipalities of Lorca and its region.
The third phase, up
Furthermore, the Environment Councillor explained that "coinciding with the launch of the new line have begun refining the expansion works of the flaming treatment plant the rest fraction, which has been termed third phase enlargement Waste Management Centre. This third phase consists of both physical expansion and automation of technical processes and their duration is 15 months. "
The mayor explained that "in the first part, a new fermentation area of ​​the compost will be built. This is a warehouse of 7,000 square meters, covered but open on all four sides which protect from rain to humus during mineralization . With this infrastructure it removes one of the factors that determine its transformation moisture. Will be connected to the plant remaining fraction by conveyor and thence with the line of refining recently launched, which no longer interrupts the process by the need to transport the material between the areas involved in the process. "
Thanks to this infrastructure current dump area, where the second phase of the treatment plant the rest of the municipal solid waste fraction will build is released.
The expansion, with virtually the space occupied by the industrial area opened last year doubled, is automate the process of separation of light, mainly plastic and aluminum containers, in addition to film, which today can not be emphasized by the existing facilities.
Its main advantage is therefore efficient.
Not only the processes are automated but also be carried out in a single plant.
Allowing even close the current ship manual selection to operate completely obsolete material from Lorca and surrounding areas using the Waste Management Centre of Lorca today.
However, the council has stressed that "job retention is ensured through redeployment in the treatment line, now much greater, and the need to maintain a manual stretch due to the error of the system that uses infrared equipment for detecting material, calculated at 10%. "
Melchor Morales stressed that "this investment will be allocated 12 million euros so far this term, although citizens do not see it is necessary."
