Notes de l'éditeur
- The tube has been delivered and is being lifted off the trailer.
- After many hours of welding we have lengthened the tube, added a door and moved the end rings in place.
- This is the final site where the digester will be installed on two metal stands that we fabricated which rests on two concrete pads.
- Things are moving right along and the crane once again has arrived to lift the digester onto the metal stands.
- We have had a very busy fall fabricating all the gears and conveyor stands, but alas winter has arrived and now we are fighting the weather.
- This is a close up view of the gears and chains that turn the digester.
- The gear box turns the massive gears and chains.
- We’re very scientific at Rocky Hill. Notice the chalk lines that we used to time to see how long it takes for the digester to make one revolution.
- The end is near. The electricity has been hooked up and the switch has been turned on. It Works!
- The insulation has been installed to retain the heat for the digester to work its magic. Compost is coming out steaming after 3 days of slow turning.
- The digester has been a challenging project but extremely rewarding to see the end product.
- This is what the raw material looks like as it goes into the digester. It is a mixture of food waste, cardboard, wood chips, leaves and grass.
- After 3 days of rotating in the digester the raw mixture is emptied out and is unrecognizable. The volume has been reduced by about 65%.
- There are 3 temperature gauges in various locations to monitor how much heat the material is generating as it turns in the digester. Ideally you want to be between 140F-160F.
- Mike, our foreman loads the digester every morning with fresh material to constantly feed the tube.
