order to fully stabilize the end compost. 85% of the compost is cured in this
facility
b. Inside the warehouse where the compost is cured, the material is placed in
windrows. The warehouse protects the compost from the outside
environmental conditions. The windrows have a maximum height of 3.5 m. The
residence time is 1 month. 15% of the compost is cured in this installation.
Following the curing stage, the loaders feed the packaging unit, in order to
package the end compost. (Morocomp.,2010)
Packaging Unit
The packaging unit consists of the following:
a. Smoothening sub-unit for ameliorating the texture of the end product
b. Sub-unit for placing the end compost inside bags <strong>and</strong> for sealing these bags
c. Sub-unit of palletizing the packaged end compost
Wastewater Treatment Unit
The wastewater that is treated in this unit is generated from:
a. The reception unit for the trucks
b. The unit of mechanical separation
c. The composting unit (leachate collected from the floor of the composting
tunnel)
d. Wastewater from all the sanitation areas of the factory
A two-stage aerobic biological process takes place for the treatment of
wastewater. The final effluent is used for irrigating the grass facilities of the
installation
Unit for Treatment of Air Emissions from the Mechanical Separation Unit
This unit treats the air emissions resulting for the Unit of Mechanical
Separation. The treatment unit consists of three (3) biofilters for treating air
exhausts from the unit of mechanical separation. Each biofilter corresponds to
one reservoir of the unit of waste reception <strong>and</strong> to one line of mechanical
separation. Biofilters are made up of end compost.
