APESA supports composting project leaders with technical and practical solutions for sizing and feasibility studies.
We offer several modes of intervention: analyses & testing, studies and R&D.
We have a range dedicated to composting: analyses, testing, advice and expertise, a unique experimental platform, and knowledge of biological processes.
1
Characterization of materials and mixtures to be composted
APESA offers specific analyses to characterize waste intended for composting.
2
Optimizing the compostability of materials
APESA supports you in studying and optimizing your composting project by carrying out composting tests as a service, from laboratory scale to semi-industrial scale.
We can simulate composting steps to:
- Test the compostability of a biomass or mixtures,
- Optimize composting sizing and operation (duration, mixing, turning, aeration, watering, odour treatment),
- Test the impact of additives,
- Produce a representative compost for analyses.
3
Agronomic valorization of composts
APESA offers facilities dedicated to analysing your composts:
