Innovations
Through a continuous programme of innovation, CRS have become and remain a leader in its field. The company prides itself on being the first to develop and instigate revolutionary waste management equipment and processes. Each new development has been driven by the objective of providing a better service to the current and potential customer base. Dr Mullett, Development Director for CRS, also directed a major research project which was undertaken over 4 years into the development of low-cost in-vessel composting technology.
Examples of CRS innovations include:
CRS design reduces the risk of cross contamination
After significant research into industry requirements the CRS R&D team have produced a innovative new design for composting tunnels. The CRS tunnel is unique in that it has a door at both ends so that the waste can be loaded into one end and emptied at the other. This new design, which has been developed in response to the ABPR, enables a one way flow of waste through the plant. This approach, which is preferred by many vets, will reduce the risk of cross contamination.
Batchtrack Software has potential to reduce process
management errors
In an age of high tech machinery and changing legislation the accuracy of
data has never been more crucial to the waste management industry. The ABPR
requirement for information about batches of material stimulated the CRS
team to develop a dedicated computer programme that will track a batch of
compost through the in-vessel process and beyond. This software dramatically
reduces the potential for process management error and automatically generates
the required batch records in both electronic and hard copy format.
CRS has a cost effective, flexible solution to odour
control
The CRS team has pioneered a new process for the destruction of composting gases using ozone. The conventional approach to odour control is to use biofilters but they take up considerable space and lack the flexibility to adapt to changing demand for odour destruction. Ozone treatment of compost gas is far more flexible, the amount of ozone can be increased if the odour requirements are high and it requires little or no land footprint.
