Proven Expertise
Bioganix are specialists in the handling of biodegradable waste and we have pioneered ‘in vessel’ composting since bringing our first facility into operation in February 2002.

Rather than operate a traditional ‘open air’ or ‘covered windrow’ system of composting, we use a unique process for composting food industry and local authority waste ‘in vessel’.

In contrast to traditional systems, the Bioganix ‘in vessel’ system is fully approved and licensed by the State Veterinary Services and the Environment Agency for processing meat and fish waste products.

Compost Production
Taking around 100 hours, compost production is subject to rigorous temperature control and the introduction of specific bacterial cultures. 

Constant monitoring and the independent testing of the compost guarantees a high-quality end product.

A major aspect of controlling the process is ensuring that the mixture is balanced, in the same way as blending occurs in the brewing industry.

Another vital area of management is odour control which has a high priority for Bioganix, and we are leading the field in this area. The Bioganix system incorporates sophisticated chemical and biological odour management technology.

Types of Waste
The Bioganix process is designed to handle a wide range of organic waste streams from source separated domestic material (green and/or kitchen waste) to “hard-to-handle” liquid waste from the food processing sector.  A number of our customers also ask us to compost contaminated paper and cardboard in conjunction with food waste products.

Unlike many other composting processes, the Bioganix in-vessel system is designed to handle the difficult food waste fractions.  Our odour management processes have been designed to neutralise the smell from the most odorous waste streams such as feathers and fish.

Some customers whose waste could go directly to landfill, choose to send it to Bioganix where it is composted and recycled, in line with their company’s environmental responsibilities.
