Advanced Microbial Treatment System (AMTS) at Cavanaugh Farm No. 1 Process:
  • In-vessel composting technology, raw chicken manure and mortality carcasses, along with a carbon source (wood chips), turn into a stable, organic fertilizer.
  • Bio-filter acts as scrubbing mechanism, filtering out noxious odors associated with composting process. Leachate is collected in tanks and is re-used during the process.
  • Project involves in taking the raw mixture to a stable, organic fertilizer that will compete with synthetic fertilizers.
