Engineered Windrow Composting

Converting Waste into Bioenergy and Compost

As India’s waste generation continues to rise, finding sustainable and affordable treatment solutions has become a national priority. While several technologies focus on energy recovery, composting remains one of the most natural and circular methods of handling organic waste.

Organic Recycling Systems Limited (ORS) — a pioneering bioenergy company in India — has engineered a smarter way to compost: the EW-Co™ (Engineered Windrow Composting) technology. Designed for large-scale waste processing, EW-Co™ transforms biodegradable waste into high-quality compost while minimizing environmental impact.

1. What Is Engineered Windrow Composting (EW-Co™)?

Engineered Windrow Composting is an enhanced and scientifically structured version of traditional composting. Unlike manual or unplanned setups, ORS’s EW-Co™ system integrates engineering precision with natural biodegradation.

It is specifically developed for handling Organic Fractions of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) and segregated organic waste, ensuring higher efficiency, cleaner output, and compliance with India’s waste management standards.

2. ORS’s EW-Co™ Technology: Innovation with Practicality

ORS’s Engineered Windrow Composting (EW-Co™) is the result of years of research and field experience. As a leading bioenergy company in India, ORS has designed this system to combine affordability with environmental responsibility.

Key Features of EW-Co™:

  • Low-Cost, Easy Operation: Simplified layout and process flow reduce setup and maintenance costs.
  • Weather-Resilient Performance: Designed to operate efficiently under India’s diverse climate conditions.
  • Pre-Segregation & Pulverizing: Ensures uniformity, reduces contamination, and prevents metal leaching.
  • Integration-Ready: Seamlessly connects with segregation lines and post-processing systems.
  • FCO-Compliant Compost: The output meets Fertilizer Control Order (FCO) standards, making it market-ready.
  • Scalable for Large Projects: Ideal for capacities above 50 Tons Per Day (TPD), serving municipalities and industries.

3. The EW-Co™ Process: Simple, Sustainable, and Scalable

  1. Feedstock Preparation: Segregation and pulverizing remove non-biodegradables and prepare the organic waste.
  2. Windrow Formation: Waste is formed into long, narrow rows designed for optimal aeration.
  3. Turning and Aeration: Mechanical turners mix and aerate the composting material to maintain oxygen levels.
  4. Moisture & Temperature Monitoring: Regular checks ensure optimal microbial activity and pathogen control.
  5. Curing & Screening: The matured compost is screened and stored for agricultural or landscaping use.

This engineered system enhances biological efficiency while ensuring operational stability and odor control — two major challenges in large-scale composting.

4. Why Composting Matters for a Bioenergy Company

As a forward-thinking bioenergy company in India, ORS understands that true sustainability goes beyond just producing energy. Composting closes the organic loop by returning nutrients to the soil, improving land productivity, and reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers.

Through EW-Co™, ORS ensures that organic waste not only avoids landfills but is transformed into a resource that enriches soil health and supports India’s agricultural economy.

5. Technical and Environmental Benefits

Environmental Benefits

  • Reduces methane emissions and landfill pressure
  • Produces soil-enriching, natural compost
  • Promotes carbon sequestration and sustainable agriculture
  • Minimizes leachate generation through pre-segregation

6. Economic and Social Benefits

  • Low Capital & Operating Costs: Compared to advanced mechanical systems, EW-Co™ offers a high ROI.
  • Revenue from Compost Sales: Compost generated can be sold to farmers, landscapers, and horticultural users.
  • Employment Generation: Supports local job creation in compost plant operations and distribution.
  • CSR & ESG Alignment: Helps industries and municipalities meet sustainability mandates.

By choosing ORS’s composting solutions, organizations gain both environmental impact and economic efficiency — a balance that defines a truly successful waste management model.

7. Ideal Applications

EW-Co™ technology is suitable for:

  • Municipal Solid Waste Processing Units (centralized composting 50–100 TPD)
  • Industrial Parks & Food Processing Units
  • Agricultural and Rural Development Projects
  • Smart Cities and Urban Local Bodies

As a bioenergy company in India, ORS ensures that its composting systems complement other clean energy initiatives, including anaerobic digestion and biogas generation.

8. Compliance and Quality Standards

Every EW-Co™ installation meets:

  • FCO (Fertilizer Control Order) compost standards
  • CPCB and SWM Rules, 2016 guidelines
  • Odor, leachate, and emission control protocols
  • Regular operational audits for performance and environmental safety

This ensures ORS’s composting facilities are technically sound, legally compliant, and environmentally sustainable.
