Brome CompostVideos of our composting projects
Here is a great overview of the municipal composting site in Bentonville, Arkansas. At 2500 metric tons, the system is among the largest designed by the Brome Compost team to date.
Brome Compost and the ”Swine Developpement Center of Quebec”
This BROME composter was installed at the Centre de Développement du Porc du Québec to manage the facility’s mortalities. On-site composting avoids the risks of disease transmission that other disposal methods entail. It’s surely the most environmentally-friendly and safe disposal method.
Delfland inc., in Napierville, Québec, uses a BROME composting system to transform their green waste
Delfland inc. grows a variety of vegetables on 1000 acres. The management of their plant residues has been greatly improved since the installation of their BROME composting system.
This Algonquin community of around 800 people in the Abitibi region of Quebec has operated their on-site compost operation at their ecocenter since November 2018.
Municipality of Landrienne, Quebec, composts with a Brome Compost system
The use of a BROME Composting System reduces the footprint of this organics recycling center. What’s more, leachate management is reduced or eliminated.
Brome composting system at
the Metro Lussier supermarket
Installation of an on-site composting system for a grocery store in Quebec. This system diverts approximately 35 tonnes of organic waste per year from landfills.
Composting cow manure to produce bedding
Production of bedding from separated and composted cow slurry using a Brome Compost Composting System. A Patz conveyor moves the finished compost to its storage location.
Using a Patz mixer for cardboard and compostable bags
Using a Patz mixer to prepare a composting mix with food waste in compostable bags and with cardboard boxes. Mixing time is 13 minutes during which compostable bags are efficiently emptied by the mixer. Cardboard boxes are also broken down in small particles which are ideal for composting.
Separation, exporting, and composting of manure
Liquid/solid separation of dairy manure for phosphor export from the farm. The manure can also be recycled into new composted bedding.
Cardboard Shredder for Composting
The cardboard shredder can turn cardboard into an amendment for on-site composting. Pre-treating the cardboard helps reduce amendment costs, saves storage space, and avoids certain management expenses.

Patz Mixer for Composting Cardboard and Food Waste
A Patz Model 1400 mixer pre-treats cardboard for use as a carbon source in composting. The mixer reduces the volume of the cardboard and the volume of the mixture, making composting easier.
Digital thermometer: taking the temperature in the BROME composter
Here’s the temperature reading at the composter door, where compostable materials are introduced. With the right temperatures, the operator can be sure that the composting process is proceeding correctly.
Introduction of material to be composted with a bin lifter
Use of a bin lifter for the introduction of compostable materials with a 240 L wheeled bin. This method makes it easier for operators to compost on site with a Brome composter.
Rotation of Brome Compost’s rotary composter
These rotations oxygenate the composting material and move it towards the composter outlet. A forced ventilation system also oxygenates the mixture and brings fresh air into the cylinder for optimal composting conditions. Retention times in the composter can vary from a few days to a few weeks, depending on requirements.
