There has been a steady rise in the utilization of residential and commercial composting vessels because of their simplicity, ease of use, and environmental, social and economical benefits. However the majority of the commercial systems currently on the market suffer from one or more of the following shortcomings: low performance, high cost, undesired odor, high labour requirements, or lack of control.Forest City Models and Patterns Ltd. (FCMP) in collaboration with Lambton College's Bluewater Technology Access Centre proposes to develop a simple, robust, and affordable automated composting system powered by solar energy. This simple yet dynamic system is capable of converting various organic waste streams into green, sustainable end-products such as fertilizers and landscape materials in an economically sound and environmentally benign manner.Dr. Shahram Karimi and his research team that includes graduates and student researchers will work closely with FCMP to carry out the research activities. The proposed applied research project will stimulate economic development through technology transfer to FCMP and other local and regional SME's to divert and utilize organic waste streams in a cost-effective and environmentally benign manner, where a valuable, renewable commodity will be produced.

住宅和商业堆肥船的使用率稳步上升，因为它们简单，易于使用，以及环境，社会和经济效益。然而，目前市场上的大多数商业系统存在以下缺点中的一个或多个：低性能、高成本、不希望的气味、高劳动力要求或缺乏控制。森林城市模型和模式有限公司（FCMP）与兰顿学院的蓝水技术访问中心合作，提出开发一种简单、稳健和负担得起的由太阳能供电的自动堆肥系统。这个简单而充满活力的系统能够以经济和环保的方式将各种有机废物流转化为绿色，可持续的最终产品，如肥料和景观材料。Shahram Karimi博士和他的研究团队，包括毕业生和学生研究人员，将与FCMP密切合作开展研究活动。拟议的应用研究项目将刺激经济发展，办法是向渔业加工和其他地方和区域中小企业转让技术，以成本效益高和无害环境的方式转移和利用有机废物流，从而生产出有价值的可再生商品。
