PROCESS DESCRIPTION

The GAIA dehydration system dries inputs to reduce their size in both volume and weight, which takes about eight to ten hours to complete. This process works by heating up the chamber to 300˚F+, shredding food waste by a built-in rotating double helix blade, and churning the food waste as air is circulated throughout the container; consider it an accelerated composting process. At the end of the cycle, it has reduced the food waste in both volume and weight by 85%+ and generates two viable by-products for reuse / recycling, if the client so elects. One is a highly concentrated organic (HCO) that can be reused / recycled as: (i) soil-like amendment, (ii) compost accelerant, animal feed, or (iv) a fuel pellet. The second is the sterile, filtered water that can be reused / recycled for: (i) landscaping, (ii) gardening, (iii) washing out trash bins, or (iv) discharged into the sewer.

GAIA also has the capability to custom design, manufacture, and install plant-sized facilities capable of processing 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100+ tons of food waste or bio-solids per day which are appropriate for municipalities, major food manufacturers, farmers, waste water treatment facilities. Larger units generally take 9 to 12 months to design, manufacture and install at a location. Call for more details.
