Preseco Ireland invests €1.5m in plant
29 November 2009
Company: Preseco Ireland
Investment: €1.5m
Staff: three
Location: Monaghan
Monaghan start-up Preseco Ireland has opened a 2,000 square metre accelerated composting plant in Clones on the Fermanagh border at a cost of €1.5 million.
The company, established earlier this year by John Prunty, Liam Strain and Peter Lynch, formerly a senior manager with Kerry Foods, holds the licence to use composting technology developed by Finnish group Preseco.
Its three-drum composting plant employs three staff to provide large-scale composting services. Eamon Woods, a consultant with Preseco Ireland, said the plant could handle a wide range of organic wastes, including raw and cooked foods and animal byproducts.
The material is mixed with support material, like peat and sawdust, and is then composted in specialised processing units.
‘‘Under licence from Preseco Finland, our facility is equipped with modern cad/cam technology to accurately produce each part in accordance with the drawings from Finland," said Woods. ‘‘Under sophisticated computer control, the material is continually rotated and moved along the composting drum, emerging after five to ten days when it is transferred to a covered storage area for maturation. At all times, the process is silent, odourless and non-polluting."
The company has just agreed a deal, valued at €50,000 annually, with Grove Turkeys in Monaghan to treat The composting drum at Preseco Ireland’s new facility organic sludge.
