(P.A.C., 2009) Picture 63.: Mechanical shorting (P.A.C., 2009) Rapid Composting Unit The rich organic fraction is compressed (after it has been separated from mixed waste) in a reactor with a concurrent aerobic fermentation ong>andong> infusion of air.

Refining Unit The compost material is led to the refining unit (Picture 65.) for final treatment, which is the process of refining, during which unwanted material (glass, hard plastic, gravel, plastic sheets, etc.) that pollute the material may be removed. The final product that emerges from this treatment is the refined soil improvement material (compost), which is a stabilized form of an organic fraction of waste.

Refining Unit<br />

The compost material is led to the refining unit (Picture 65.) for final<br />

treatment, which is the process of refining, during which unwanted material<br />

(glass, hard plastic, gravel, plastic sheets, etc.) that pollute the material may be<br />

removed. The final product that emerges from this treatment is the refined soil<br />

improvement material (compost), which is a stabilized form of an <strong>organic</strong><br />

fracti<strong>on</strong> of <strong>waste</strong>.
