COMPOST MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY, KANO TOWARDS REDUCING MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS IN COMPOSTING INDUSTRIES

📄 Project Abstract

Industrialization is a major process for economic development of any nation. The present economic situation has prompted the Federal government to seek for ways of diversifying the economic base, hence the emphasis on industrialization and agricultural development. A significant challenge confronting engineers, scientists and environmentalist in developing countries is the search for appropriate solutions to the collection, treatment, and disposal or reuse of domestic waste.

The magnitude of the problem demands a complex organizational set up to solve the problem. Waste recycling helps in reducing the waste by turning the waste materials into new useful materials. Organic matter which forms about 70% of the refuse can be processed into compost (organic fertilizer). The role of the architect here is to design a factory house the composting process. This proposed factory is expec...
