YES Compost runs a compost collection and vermicomposting operation servicing the Bozeman, Montana region. Karl Johnson (owner) has been in touch with AGT as his business grows, and purchased an AGT Mini-System in the summer of 2023. The Mini System is part of Karl’s move to a new larger site, and is powered by an off-grid solar array with battery and generator backup. Karl’s Mini System has been engineered for super efficiency to reduce load on the battery bank.
Using an AGT vapor-to-water heat exchanger, compost heat is sent to radiant beds beneath four worm bins in Karl’s greenhouse. The system aerates two batches of approximately 60 CY each, connected with manual valves. This ensures there is always one active batch to provide heat for the worms. The batches are arranged on the site to fit neatly in the overall material flow: when a batch finishes its active aerated phase, it is rolled over and the next active batch is shouldered into the aerated zone. The AGT Mini System is helping Karl raise his worms off-grid and free his business from the cost of renting a heated warehouse space.
