  • form what i've seen and read on the net anerobic digestion stops or slows when the temperature reaches about 120 best temp is 90-100

  • @bret354 Hi, I am thinking that what Jean Pain had was HUGE thermal mass. Because of the size of his heap he was able to maintain the temp for such a long duration. Thanks for your input.

  • Ok... the heap needs water. You are drying out the bacteria that produces the heat. Try it without the cardboard. If you watch a Jean Pain video... he actually waters in each layer. I want your project to work. Thanks for posting it.

  • Heap is far to small. Also feedstock must be an issue. my 1m3 heaps get to 140 in <24 hours. But will overheat and be finished in less than 4 weeks. So times that by the no. of months you want it to be active for.... And you're in the ball park.

    BTW, my heaps are mostly fine shreaded woodchip, fresh, with whatever's available as well. But chip is enough, with some water and minerals (for good measure).

  • You are definitely killing the pile with a lack of oxygen you don't need to insulate the whole concept would work in Siberia, like what you're doing keep it up

  • I think the tank is big for the heap, i think to have a coil of tubing full of water in the middle of the heap would be more effective.....

  • How wet are you making your pile , areyou compacting it down at all (it looked very loose) also you should be letting it breath your killing any beneficial bact. that otherwise might take hold . Try shreding your cardboard .. Good luck !

  • @marthale7 YES... thanks for the compliment. As different as it is Composting is awesome and a wonderful way to generate several types of beneficial products and bi-products ! ... Scott
