Investigation of Physical Parameters Influencing Composting Using Effective Micorobe’s

Abstract: Waste management and treatment is one of the biggest problems in the world. Around 50% of the waste in the world is organic in nature. Household waste is one among them. Many innovative technologies have been reported in solid waste management and research is still going on. Composting is considered as an acceptable technology for biodegradable waste management all over the world. The influence of physical parameters such as pH and temperature were studied. It was observed that there was significant influence of EM solution in the decomposition and accelerators at controlled conditions were contributing to fast composting Effective Microbial (EM) Technology is a natural and probiotic process carried out by using microbial culture consisting of beneficial and highly efficient microorganisms that are non-toxic and non-pathogenic. The objectives of this projects also include identification of the best accelerator to promote fast composting. Studies were conducted to identify the physical parameters influencing composting using effective microbes.

Keywords: Composting, household waste management, EM technology, organic waste utilization, inoculums.
