| Abstract | This research monograph reviews low-cost composting systems for sewage sludge and municipal solid waste (MSW). It focuses on windrow and aerated static pile systems. It also presents the results of a pilot plant study in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on a hybrid mode of aeration (a combination of suck and blow) for an aerated static pile composting system for MSW The monograph concludes with a discussion on the role of recycling and controlled composting in waste management for low income areas in developing countries. |
