Objective
The objective of this programme is to provide a technical solution for the disposal of the organic farm waste and municipal fibrous waste from the region. Within the framework of this project we will build a centralised site for the treatment of dairy and poultry manure as well as municipal fibrous waste. The treatment process will be composting in windrows. During this process, the biological activity and heat generated will decompose and stabilise the organic material in the waste as well as removing pathogenic organisms and plant seeds. The product will be compost, the composition of which can be varied according to individual needs. The compost can be used as a soil amendment to increase agricultural productivity within the region. This re-use of the product of the treatment process is intended to enhance the sustainability of the region and develop a long term strategy for regional recycling of natural resources. The composting facility will operate initially on a fraction of the total waste produced in the region (approx. 20%) in order to evaluate its technological potential as a suitable treatment strategy for the organic waste generated in this area. The programme will also strive to create an infrastructure for the centralised collection, handling and treatment of organic farm and municipal fibrous wastes. A research and development programme will be carried out to optimise the operating parameters to minimise the emissions from the treatment facility and to evaluate alternative treatment technologies such as anaerobic digestion and hydrolysis. The anticipated results will demonstrate that the proposed comprehensive treatment strategy will control the problem of organic waste in the area and protect the water resources. As such, the Galicomp project is of great importance for the environmental protection and sustainable development, not only of this area in particular, but also of the country as a whole.
The finger of Galilee is a rural area rich in water resources supplying a significant proportion of Israel's drinking water demands. The region is a major tourist area and contains several nature reserves. It is also an area of large scale agricultural activity. Intensive livestock production generates much waste, in particular manure. Waste management in the region is currently insufficient and many of the wastes are disposed of in an unrestricted manner. Inadequate and improper waste treatment practices pose a very serious threat to both the natural resources and water supplies as well as to the tourist trade of the region.
