Design of in-vessel continuous composting process for handling sugar industrial waste

Abstract

During the past decades Sri Lanka has not satisfactorily processed agricultural products which were a major burden to the national economy. Realizing the importance of value addition, the relevant processing of agricultural products have magnified significantly, resulting in a parallel generation of processed agricultural wastes. The major focus of this paper is the introduction of a high rate in-vessel composting process for handling one of the process wastes in the sugar industry.
