Composting
is a microbially driven process that:
• First, breaks down organic
matter, then
• Builds that material into humus.
Having the right microbes
on the job at the right time is what makes high quality,
high value compost.
Midwest Bio-Systems offers compost production inoculants
formulated to optimize the composting process at each inoculation point:
the SYNCHRONIZATION, BREAKDOWN, BUILD-UP, and STABILIZATION
phases of the composting process.
| •
SYNCHRONIZATION is the part of the composting process where
slower reacting materials are pre-treated so that when they are mixed
with faster reacting materials, the breakdown of all materials in
the windrow ends at approximately the same time. |
 |
| •
BREAKDOWN is the portion of the composting process where
organic matter is broken down by microbial processes and their resulting
heat. Nitrogen is converted from ammonia
(NH3) to Nitrates
(NO3). Inoculation with ACS N-Converter
provides the specific microbes best suited to efficiently and effectively
break down organic matter, convert the ammonia to nitrites, and then
nitrates. Nitrogen conversion is the factor carrying the greatest
weight in compost quality. ACS N-Converter also increases the overall
microbial population and its diversity. |
 |
| • During
HUMUS BUILD-UP, the simple compounds
from breakdown are re-synthesized into short molecular chain humic
substances. ACS Humifier provides the microbial species necessary
to build-up the broken down organic matter into short chain humic
substances while increasing the overall microbial population and its
diversity. |
 |
| • In the
STABILIZATION phase, short molecular
chain humic substances extend to become long chain varieties. Volatile
substances are stabilized and the microbial population expands. ACS
Finisher provides the specific microbial species that continue
the humification process, extending the humic substance chains, stabilizing
any remaining volatile compounds and further adding to the microbial
population and its diversity. |
