Fertilizer Production Using “Oxygen assisted” Composting of Agricultural Wastes

Next Hydrogen company, in partnership with Wellmaster, wants to use by-product oxygen in the water electrolysiindustry as a raw material in another business. The project site proposed, in Bruce County, has many farms producing agricultural wastesThe project will asses whether composting and vermicomposting are the best choices to use this oxygen. One of the most important factors of the composting and vermicomposting condition is aeration. So, the intern will design reactors for these two pathways to transfer the oxygen to the composting and vermicomposting substrates. In this regard, we use the agricultural wastes as a substrate of composting and the mix of agricultural wastes and cow manure as a substrate of vermicomposting.
