Can we build one for you?

Looking for a dedicated composting facility or simply a commercial operation to serve your region? We design, build,license and operate high-rate, high-efficiency indoor facilities using practical, cost-effective systems and technologies which are regulatory-compliant, time-tested, and commercially viable.

Want a modern, environmentally-secure facility with no capital investment?  With our flexible ownership and operating options, if you bring a suitable site to the table, we can structure a project requiring little to no capital on your part. 

• McGill build-own-operate
• McGill build-operate, customer own
• McGill build, customer own-operate
• McGill license, customer build-own-operate
  

Our biological systems can also enhance efficiencies and reduce operational costs for sludge drying, thermal Waste-to-Energy (WTE), and anaerobic digestion, either as a retrofit to an existing operation or integrated into the design of a new facility or system.   Co-location at W/WTP plants, landfills, transfer stations and incinerators are ideal for both McGill and our customers.  We can even take over a yard waste or biosolids composting site and use less space than an outdoor windrow operation processing the same volume of materials. 

Key features

• Modular design for the flexibility to meet your current and future needs 
• Rapid throughput via accelerated thermophilic treatment to cut materials handling/labor costs and reduce residence time, requiring less space and resulting in lower capital costs
• Product-focused design and process management for high quality compost with real market value
• Emission security and treatment for mitigation of odors and other nuisance issues
• Real-time and historic compliance data for improved process control and record-keeping
• Optional green energy add-on for maximizing the value of your organic waste stream

McGill facilities are individually designed to meet specific needs. Primary considerations are capacity, location and the type of waste being processed. Encapsulated (totally enclosed in concrete) processing modules have a minimum capacity of four wet tons per day. There is no maximum design limit for a McGill facility. 

Processing modules include a concrete aeration floor, intake/exhaust fans, concrete walls and roof.  Options include computerized process control and data-logging, a concrete blending apron, metal building enclosure, biofilter, and McGill operations management. Operator training is included.

Operations support

To maximize the potential of your McGill facility, we provide operations support and related services specific to compost manufacturing and biological treatment systems.

These include:

• Start-up and staff training
• Operations management, strategic planning and facility planning
• Systems/construction design and engineering
• Intake and compost products marketing
• Waste/compost markets analyses and waste audits
• Applied research and demonstration
• Site surveys, assessments and troubleshooting
• Assistance with regulatory issues and permitting

Beyond design-build-operate models and technology licensing, our experienced teams can assist in all aspects of start-up and on-going management of your composting facility, whether designed by McGill or someone else. Who better to troubleshoot your operation than a company with 20 years of hands-on experience with just about every kind of organic waste material generated on the planet?
