Design, build and commissioning of a 120,000 tonnes per year in-vessel composting plant. The facility is designed to process a mixture of Food and Garden Organics (FOGO).

Scope of works consist of 12 composting tunnels and central air and water management systems, including adiabatic coolers and biofilters. All controlled and monitored through WTT’s fully automated SCADA system, ensuring the composting system meets Australian Standards and EPA requirements. Each tunnel batch is transferred to the maturation area for final curing.

It means food and green organic waste produced by Southeast Melbourne residents will not end up in landfill and will instead produce high-grade compost.

By reducing the amount of waste going to landfill, the facility is expected to abate more than 65,000 tons of CO2-e emissions per year the equivalent of removing almost 14,000 cars from the road per year.
