Maturity is an important parameter for the nutrient management of compost N availability in compost is closely related to the maturity reached during composting (Bemal et al. 1998 Griffin and Hutchinson 2007). Larsen et al. (2007) found that anaerobically digested and composted municipal solid waste immobilized N in the initial stage of decomposition. The N immobilization in the composted municipal...

Table 1 provides a synopsis of the Phase I pilot-scale testing carried out. Several runs with composted municipal solid waste (MSW) were carried out with a pipe reactor in the absence of oxidant, i.e., they were indirectly heated and did not utilize partial oxidation. The pipe reactor had an ID of 0.815 inches and a length of about 90 feet.
