204 Picture 58.: View of Composting Tunnel at Ano-Liosia in Greece (Morocomp.,2010) Three (3) feeding lines: each line feeds 16 composting tunnels with biodegradable material. The total number of composting tunnels is 48. The transportation of the biodegradable material is conducted via conveyor belts. The tunnels are fed with the following material: The mixture exiting the homogenization unit The biodegradable fraction that is recovered from the ballistic separator The recycled material from the screening process The recycled compost material. As it will be described later, the end compost is screened. The reject stream is then recycled through an elevated conveyor back to the composting unit, as a product that has not been fully composted. It is split into three streams in order to be fed to the 3 lines of the composting unit. The compost mix is placed inside the tunnels up to a height of 2.1 m. Six (6) electrical agitation devices. Each couple (2) of agitation devices is used to mix 16 composting tunnels, corresponding to one feeding line. Each day the agitator agitates 4 tunnels. Overall, 24 composting tunnels are agitated each day. As the agitators proceed inside the composting tunnel they displace the compost mix forward towards the exit of the composting tunnel. Therefore, every 2 days, the agitator completes one displacement of the compost mix towards the exit of the
