The Bio-Tunnel system encloses organic material in a controlled tunnel environment where aerobic fermentation takes place under regulated conditions. Automated turning and forced aeration maintain optimal oxygen levels and temperature throughout the composting cycle, accelerating microbial breakdown and ensuring uniform conversion. The closed design controls odor and process variables, producing a stable, pathogen-reduced end product suitable for agricultural or land application use.
Material is loaded into insulated tunnel chambers where temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels are monitored and maintained throughout the fermentation cycle.
Mechanical turning equipment periodically redistributes material within the tunnel, ensuring homogeneous aeration, heat distribution, and consistent decomposition throughout the batch.
Exhaust air from the tunnel is passed through a biofilter before discharge, containing odor within the system boundary and meeting emission requirements.
Processed material exits the tunnel after the active fermentation phase and moves to a maturation stage, yielding a stable, nutrient-rich compost product.
