ABSTRACT
The objective of this chapter is to provide the reader with basic elements, concepts, and the basis for the design of composting facilities. One of the most useful tools is technical memoranda (TMs), which are related to every phase of the design. The more comprehensive these memoranda are, the better is the understanding of how the facility should be built and operated. The memoranda are usually between the engineers, architects, and others involved in the design and the client. One of the most important aspects of these memoranda is communication. It gives the client the opportunity to question the designers as to the rationale for including speci—cs in the design. It affords the opportunities to evaluate alternatives.
