    Composting system for biological waste treatment

    UTV AG is the world market leader in waste treatment with semi-permeable membranes. The result is efficient treatment of biowaste in a closed system with membrane covered, pressure-ventilated, oxygen-controlled decomposition technology.
    About the system

Let's make compost

Take advantage of the UTV system to sanitize the raw material.

For more than 25 years, we have been a leading supplier of closed systems with semi-permeable cover membranes that have a lasting effect on your composting process.

Emissions

The fine pores of the semi-permeable membrane cover do not allow large molecules such as odorous substances or bioaerosols to pass through to the outside. Furthermore, the membrane function replaces a biofilter.

Cost-efficient

The simple design ensures a significantly lower system investment compared to an enclosed system with a similar capacity. The demand-controlled ventilation requires fans with minimal power and energy consumption.

Versatile

UTV systems can be used to successfully compost a wide variety of raw materials. With our worldwide experience of over 120 systems on all continents and in all climate zones, we always find a solution.

Short construction time

The basic version of the UTV windrow composting system only requires a paved area, which can be constructed within 2-3 months. The simple system allows for quick authorisation compared to an enclosed system.

By returning the compost obtained from waste to the natural cycle, it is not only a sought-after raw material, but also an important supplier of humus to the soil. In just a few process steps, the composting plants produce a natural product that can be used in various ways.

Good management and the right technology helps the climate.

Different emissions are produced during composting, which can have a different impact on the environment depending on the composting system. Aerobic composting is a decisive factor in avoiding climate-relevant gases.

Raw materials

Raw materials for biological treatment.

UTV systems can be used to successfully compost a wide variety of raw materials, such as green waste from gardens and parks, kitchen waste and food waste, as well as animal by-products, solids from fermentation, agricultural residues, mixed waste and organics from residual waste, sewage sludge and waste from food production.

Raw material

Treatment systems for composting & stabilization

UTV AG can offer complete treatment and disposal solutions for a wide range of waste streams, including green waste, the organic fraction from municipal waste, kitchen waste, fermentation residue, sewage sludge, waste from the food fraction or, in short, all biowaste.

Raw materials for composting

Systems

Raw materials for composting

What nature achieves alone when organic material is decomposed over months, can be optimized and accelerated with modern technology under controlled conditions? Usually, an enclosed plant is necessary for this purpose. However, this is not the case with a membrane cover made of GORE© Cover Laminat for compost windrows. It creates a real "climate chamber" for the compost windrows and is by far more cost-effective, simpler and more flexible than a building.

AD & Post-composting

Systems

AD & Post-composting

The conditioning and hygienization of the fermentation residues is carried out in the post-rotting process. Get the most out of biowaste: Biogas, renewable energy, nutrients and organic matter/humus. To reach the hygienization temperatures as quickly as possible, the GORE® Cover System is used in the further decomposition facility. The windrows are completely covered, thus minimizing odor emissions.

Post-composting
Residual waste treatment by MBT and waste drying

Systems

Residual waste treatment by MBT and waste drying

The mechanical-biological treatment of wastes (MBT) is an established treatment option in several countries to reduce the volume of mixed municipal solid waste to be landfilled by 70%. At the same time a high calorific fraction (RDF) of so-called refused derived fuels and of valuable material are recovered and biologically stabilized material employing a composting process is generated that can be landfilled without any problems.

Residual waste treatment

This is unique to UTV – check it and test it first before you buy it!

Our composting systems, which have proven themselves in stationary use for many years, are also available as a reliable, completely mobile test system. Everything fits on a trailer in the smallest version, including aeration system, pipes, tarpaulin and control system (WLAN).

You can run a test – for example with your different raw materials – and see from the results whether the compost produced using UTV technology meets your requirements.
