The Practical Handbook of Compost Engineering presents an in-depth examination of the principles and practice of modern day composting. This comprehensive book covers compost science engineering design operation principles and practice stressing a fundamental approach to analysis throughout. Biological physical chemical thermodynamic and kinetic principles are covered to develop a unified analytical approach to analysis and an understanding of the process. A brief history of the development of composting systems which leads to descriptions of modern processes is presented. The Practical Handbook of Compost Engineering also discusses the elements of successful odor management at composting facilities including state-of-the-art odor treatment and enhanced atmospheric dispersion. The book is excellent for all engineers practitioners plant operators scientists researchers and students in the field.
