Abstract
While the basic processes involved in composting of waste are described in Chapter 9.1 and the main composting
technologies are presented in Chapter 9.2, this chapter focuses on mass balances, environmental emissions, unit process
inventories and the quality of the compost produced. Understanding these issues and being able to account for them is a
prerequisite in compost engineering and for establishing and running a successful composting facility.
Of specific importance is the final use of the compost product. Use in agriculture is described in Chapter 9.10 and the
use of compost in soil amendment products are presented in Chapter 9.9.
