On a quest to deliver the complete organic solutions package, HotRot has announced the launch of two new UK technologies complementary to its flagship HotRot IVC.

This coincides with the company’s move from simple IP technology provision to the ability to offer a full range of organic waste treatment and renewable energy options.

Midas has been designed by innovative HotRot shareholder, Milbank Industries, to fill a gap in the waste processing market for an accelerated maturation process, which greatly reduces composting odours, reduces footprint and also manages the amount and difficulty with handling leachate. The aerated and drained floor equipment uses both patented concrete fabrications and standard Milbank sections ~ for floors and roofs. Able to be built as aerated pads, tunnels or large hall composting units, the resulting offering is always flexible and economic and extremely quick to build.

HotRot partner, BEKON, delivers both wet and dry Biogas technologies (AD) and has been doing so for more than four years on kerb separated domestic kitchen and green waste and more recently on farm waste and bio-crops. Dry fermentation is used to process organic waste and generate heat and power from municipal or other similar wastes and a wet fermentation technology is employed for liquid and renewable crop based materials.

Speaking at the CIWM East Anglian Centre meeting in Norfolk on processing food waste, James Lloyd, managing director of HotRot said: “It is clear that the UK is moving into a period of fast and extreme change in the way that we deal with our waste. Biological treatment of organic materials has the potential to be the single largest contributor to this process of change and should therefore, as a market segment, deliver solutions and technologies that reflect this.”
