Talk:In-vessel composting

Health Risks of Compost Derived from Sewage Biosolids
I made a change in this line in the second paragraph: "This technique is generally used for municipal scale organic waste processing, including final treatment of sewage biosolids, to a safe stable state for reclamation as a soil amendment." I changed "safe stable state" to "stable state with safe pathogen levels". And I added a new paragraph: "Evaluation is ongoing with regard to the health risks associated with compost derived from sewage biosolids -- including identifying safe levels of contaminates such as PFASs ("forever chemicals")."

If others want to improve the wording, that's fine. It just seems that something is needed to state that there are still unknowns regarding the safety of using soil amendments derived from biosolids. I'd be glad to provide more references if needed. I found surprising little on PFASs in these articles: compost, sewage sludge, EPA -- so added something on PFASs in each of these. I also added a blurb about biosolids in the PFASs topic. Bmorrisett (talk) 19:09, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Nature Mill Content
The content of this page contains a number of opinions/unverified claims about in-vessel composting vs outdoor composting. I have removed them for the time being, but will place them here in case they turn out to be useful or verifiable at some point. Jeschel 23:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * (deleted the saved materials as the link included has gone 404, and yes, the claims/opinions don't belong in this topic - also they were breaking this talk page, I hate side scrolls)Red58bill (talk) 05:17, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

In vessel composting has a different connotation to indoor composting. This should be separate subjects. In vessel composting is composting in an enclosed container as opposed to windrow composting which occurs in a longditudinal pile that is turned periodically. Both windrow composting and invessel composting can occur indoors. A third variety of composting is tunnel composting. This page is clearly misleading and pointers to invessel composting should not go to indoor composting. Please contact me with any queries alex@alexmarshall.me.uk --Alex 09:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Alex, I agree with your comments. Go ahead and replace the redirect at In-vessel composting with new material specific to in-vessel composting and expand this article with your knowledge of the other types. There are a few pages that point to in-vessel that should likely point here. Happy editing. -- cmh 20:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite
complete rewrite to reflect the generality of the topic, of which there are a number of subsets with their own articles that need only be referred to - "tunnel", "covered static pile", "windrow" "container", "industrial", "indoor" are better dealt with elsewhere .... added pictures Red58bill (talk) 05:17, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree. This page needs a lot of work.  In-vessel composting doesn't only apply to "industrial" processing of wastes - it may also be used for household or institutional wastes, such as with school cafeterias, etc.  I wouldn't really consider that "industrial."  Also, I think that there should be some relationship to bokashi in this article, as bokashi is a type of anaerobic composting system that is done in an enclosed container.  I feel that this article is missing that connection.  A "vessel" is just a container.  Therefore, "in-vessel composting" should refer to containerized composting.  I think that there is a lot of confusion here with the discussion of the aerobic aspect of composting and the use of biofilters.  Those can be done with a negative aerated static pile system just as well as an in-vessel system.  I will try to add my knowledge, including references to this article when I get a chance.  ~ * ~ Blue Electric Storm ~ * ~ (talk) 01:47, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
