Abstract

It was designed a plant for the composting from urban organic waste for the Empresa Pública Municipal Mancomunada de Aseo Integral Patate y Pelileo, cantons of Tungurahua Province, the weight of organic matter was determined with which worked, and it was obtained an average amount of six tons weekly of organic waste, deriving from different indoor and outdoor markets abovementioned. Once receipted in the filled the organic waste were classified previously, separating them of foreign materials like plastics, cartons, bottles, etc., then the materials were crushed I order to facilitate the decomposition process during three months, where parameters like temperature, humidity, ph, also equipment and machinery were used that facilitated the process of compost like: forklift to carry out the turnings during the aeration, a conveyor belt for the transportation of compost to the trammel, where the sieving was done and to control of compost weight a scale was used. The final results of compost characterization obtained were (N=1.12 %, P=1.1%,K=0.80, Ca=1.5%, Mg=0.97%, Mn=4.7ppm, Fe=31.5ppm, Zn= 0.4ppm, Ph=8.7) compared with the quality atandard PAS 100 of British Standard Institution (BSI, 2015), which indicates that the compost is in the classification like soil improvement product. It is recommended to the Empresa Pública Municipal Mncomunada de Aseo Integral Patate y Pelileo (EMMAIT-EP) to implement this project in order to give an appropriate treatment to organic waste produced in cantons and improving of this way the environment.
