Pacific Coast Renewables has focused its operational strategy around the Gore Cover System which is based on a membrane laminate technology similar to that of the Gore-Tex fabrics used for outerwear and footwear. Installed in more than 150 plants in 26 countries world wide, the benefits of the Gore Cover System include odor reduction of 90-97%; Bio-aerosol Emissions reduction of greater than 99 percent; less than 1 KWH/ton Energy Requirement and a three square feet/ton space requirement. The Gore Cover traps odors and moisture ensuring a 97% odor reduction from conventional windrow while providing the ideal environment for microbial activity. The simple design of the Gore Cover System allows operations to proceed outdoors and in full view. Escalating maintenance costs associated with complex mechanical systems used in other technologies are also avoided. Utilities: Positive aeration drastically reduces utility operational costs (less than 1kWh of electricity per tonne of compost). The Gore Cover 2Hp blowers are on for approximately 2 minutes every 10. In comparison, “Negative Aeration Systems” must have their blowers on 24 hours a day 7 days a week to prevent negative odour e
