Kelowna, British Columbia (Ogogrow)

Kelowna and Vernon wastewater treatment facilities are located in the interior of British Columbia.  The two plants create a Class A biosolids compost, Ogogrow, that is a mix of biosolids, two types of wood waste (hog fuel and white wood) and wood ash composted in the Extended Aerated Static Pile.  Blending is initially done by a front end loader proportionally adding compost ingredients into a auger type mixer. The composting system used is Engineered Compost Systems (ECS) Aeration System where their product goes through 2 phases that last 27 days each.  Reclaimed water from the City of Vernon’s reservoir is added to maintain moisture in the compost piles. The compost is then screened to ½ inch and after curing undergoes final product testing in individual windrows.
