After being idle for nine years, the city of Bennington, VT, recently decided to restart their agitated bay composting facility. Since the city had been proficient with maintaining the facility and equipment during its dormant period, it was basically prepared to restart with the exception of the biofilter and control system. The biofilter media needed replacement, and the process control system required a major upgrade of components that no longer functioned. The city replaced the media, and BDP assisted the city in developing alternate operation methods until the process control system can be properly upgraded.  The facility officially went back into service on August 28 and has since been generating a Class A compost that the city utilizes on its own projects.
