Sparta supplies compost processing facility

Sparta Manufacturing, an equipment manufacturer based in New Brunswick, Canada, has announced its involvement in the construction of a compost processing facility for the Halifax Regional Municipality. The facility is expected to handle 60,000 tons per year and will be operated by Aim Environmental Group, Stone Creek, Ontario, an affiliate company of Maple Reinders and Harbors City Renewables. 

Sparta says the new organic processing facility will incorporate the latest processes for the advanced aerobic treatment of organic waste on the front end and the efficient screening and production of high-end finished Class A compost on the back end. 

The consortium, based in Canada and made up of Aim Environmental, Maple Reinders, City Renewables and Waste Treatment Technologies, designed, built and operates composting facilities in Calgary, Hamilton and Guelph. The organization commissioned Sparta to manufacture its galvanized conveying system and its systemwide steel package and to install its compost processing system. 

Sparta says the compost production plant integrates shredding, a range of screening equipment, air separation and vacuum technologies from a combination of industry leaders.
