2. Solid Waste Management Questions
2.1. Commercial Pulping Equipment. You will need to do some research (online is okay) to complete this task. Please explain how a commercial pulper works, including the costs and benefits of operating this type of system. In your explanation, you should include a manufacturer’s data for a pulping system. The manufacturer’s sales literature should be useful to you. Don’t worry if you cannot find financial costs to install one of these systems (although you might); it’s unlikely that a manufacturer will provide these unless it thinks you are a real customer.

After this step any excess of water is squeezed from the slurry using a stainless steel screen. In the last steps the semi-dry pulp, is fed to a trash container and 95% of the water (used in the process) is fed back to the pulper, so that it can be reuse.
There are multiple benefits of owning and operating a Pulper in your establishment, the two most important benefits that a Pulper can provide are; reducing the resources use to dispose the trash and savings in terms of money spend to use the resources and to pay the trash collector. Depending on the contract that you have with your trash collector, a pulper can save you hundreds of dollars every year. If you have a contract where the trash collector is going to charge you base on the volume of trash that you produce, owning a Pulper can help you save money, according to Hobart (the manufacture) the WastePro 1200 reduces the volume of your garbage by 88%. This means that you will see a reduction on your garbage bill, because you will be putting less volume in your trashcans. In addition to saving money on your trash bill, the WastePro will also save resources and …show more content…
First of all the training that the Hotel needs to provide their employees is minimal. The Hotel only needs to train their employees so that they understand the distinctions between Green and Brown compost and which type of organic waste goes into each pile. Some employees may need additional training on handling the organic waste, but these employees will be the employees that will interact the most with the organic waste during the composting cycle. Some Hotels may want to involve their guest in the compost cycle and the “training” that the guest will receive will also be minimal. The Hotel can use multiple resources to provide them (the guest) with the necessary tools so that they understand the process. The Hotel can put posters around the property that describes how the Green and Brown compost process works and have different trashcans for each pile (Green, Brown and Waste). Another way to let their guest know what they need to do with their trash is to use trash cans with three compartments (instead of using different trashcans for this system, the Hotel can combine all trashcans into one with multiple compartments). These trashcans will have different compartments, and each compartment will be label different. One will be label Green (and will have the type of organic waste that goes inside), the other compartment will be label Brown and will also have the types of waste that go in the container, and
