[USCC] [B-ISA] Is the Science Barge Sustainable?

[Paul Olivier]

Michael,

When I looked a bit further in the direction of your posting, I saw that you
are involved in some fantastic work. I recently (re-)posted these three
presentations on the internet:

This first is the presentation on BSF technology that you know quite well.
It has been modified quite a bit.http://www.esrla.com/pdf/Brazil.pdf We will
soon be shipping a container of pods to the USA. There are new designs for
the drainage of liquids, and we designed pallet racks specifically for
supporting pods.

The second is a presentation on a composting program I am organizing in the
highland areas of Vietnam. http://www.esrla.com/pdf/composting.pdf I am out
of my field here, but I have had some help from James Kalin and Mike Richard
of Louisiana. Here in the highlands of Dalat BSF are present, but in very
small numbers. These compost bins will serve as seeding units for the vast
cultivation of wild populations of BSF. Once BSF are present in large
numbers, we will begin to install the bioconversion units to harvest the
larvae.

The third is about the recycling of residential waste in the USA and Europe.
It features my separation technology in the processing of residential
shredder residue. http://www.esrla.com/pdf/rsr.pdf Municipalities in the USA
do not have to wait five or ten years to initiate a total landfill avoidance
program. This can begin now. However this concept presupposes the source
separation of food waste as well as the source-separation of most recyclable
paper and cardboard. Here I introduce the idea of an aerated storage unit
for food waste that does away with the need for its daily collection. You
will see here a parallel with the Vietnam presentation. James Kalin is
introducing this separation technology to the state of California, and there
is no better place in California than San Francisco.

Many thanks.
Paul
