WTT Transportable Composter — Smart Decentralized Mobile Composter
Introducing the Transportable Composter (TC). Unlike traditional testing methods that require a fixed, cumbersome setup at your site, our innovative solution allows for testing in a compact and movable unit — bringing the composting plant directly to your waste stream.
Choose the TC When You Want to…
- Adapt your composting process to seasonal changes or different types of waste by feedstock testing
- Improve or adapt your process by small scale adjustments before scaling to full tunnel installations
- Demonstrate the effectiveness of the composting process to clients, regulators or stakeholders
- Use the heat produced in the composting process to dry high-value residues or heat adjacent areas
Compact Design, Full Capability
Our compact yet fully-equipped TC is designed to turn organic waste into compost on-site, offering an excellent testbed for your feedstock. Perfect for waste treatment facilities or research centres looking to improve their composting process.
Seize the opportunity to test and optimize your composting process in our TC. This innovation helps you to close the loop more effectively, transforming your ever-changing organic waste into valuable fertilizer with each cycle.
Perfect for Testing and Adjusting Your Process
The Transportable Composter mirrors the setup of a full-size composting tunnel, packed into a movable 32 m³ steel hook lift container.
Compact Design
The TC is a 32 m³ steel hook lift container with a hydraulic roof, meticulously crafted for optimal efficiency and mobility. Fits standard hook-lift trucks for easy transport.
Convenient Operation
The hydraulic roof opens via hand pump or optional electric pump, enabling swift container filling. The integrated hook lift system ensures seamless, hassle-free emptying.
Optimal Process Control
Each container is integrated with our WTT software, mirroring the setup of a full-size composting tunnel. Data generated can be used to optimize a full-size installation.
Easy to Relocate
The TC can be easily transported to any of your waste treatment facilities, offering flexibility and convenience in your testing processes across multiple sites.
On-Site Composting
Convert organic waste directly into compost at the point of generation, eliminating haulage costs and the emissions associated with transporting waste.
Hydraulic Roof
Robust hydraulic roof keeps the process enclosed and controlled, while allowing rapid top-loading with standard loaders when opened.
Closing the Loop for a Better Future
Bringing the Transportable Composter Plant to You! Experience the efficiency of our compact solution. Whether you are validating a new feedstock, training operators, demonstrating technology to a client, or scaling up to a full tunnel composting facility — the TC is your ideal companion on the path to sustainable, circular organics management.
Container Dimensions & Throughput
One standard unit — easily transportable, quick to set up, and sized for meaningful test-scale data.

Representative input and output figures for a typical 7-day composting cycle in the Transportable Composter.
→ Organic Waste Stream (Input)
| Quantity | 11.500 kg |
| Dry Solids (DS) | 35% |
| Organic Dry Solids (ODS) | 75% |
| Density | 500 kg/m³ |
| Volume | 22.8 m³ |
→ Compost (Output)
| Quantity | 7.250 kg |
| Dry Solids (DS) | 49% |
| Organic Dry Solids (ODS) | 72% |
| Mass reduction through water evaporation & organics degradation | |
Interconnect Multiple Containers for Even Greater Efficiency
By interconnecting multiple containers, heat transfer between them is facilitated, enhancing operational efficiency. This allows for accelerated start-up of the composting process or efficient drying of residual streams, optimizing overall productivity and resource utilization.
- Share process heat between active and freshly loaded containers
- Shorten the mesophilic phase — reach thermophilic temperatures faster
- Dry high-value residue streams with recovered waste heat
- Boost overall energy balance of multi-container installations
Resource-Conscious Design
Heat is a valuable by-product of active composting. Rather than letting it dissipate to the atmosphere, WTT’s interconnection system captures it and puts it to productive use — reinforcing the circular-economy value proposition of every TC system.
Why the Transportable Composter?
A self-contained, process-accurate test platform that mirrors real tunnel composting — in a package that goes wherever you need it.
| Benefit Area | What the TC Delivers |
|---|---|
| Feedstock Testing | Validate new waste streams on a small, manageable scale before committing to full tunnel capacity |
| Process Optimisation | Adjust aeration, moisture, C:N ratio and recipe at low risk — then scale what works |
| Seasonal Adaptation | Iterate quickly when feedstock composition shifts with seasons or supplier changes |
| Demonstration | Show regulators, clients and investors real composting output and sanitisation data |
| Heat Recovery | Use composting heat to dry residues, warm buildings or pre-heat incoming feedstock |
| Mobility | Hook-lift compatible — move the unit between facilities on a standard truck |
