PELRICH
Composorb

ADVANCED DEODORIZING COMPOST AID

Turn your bio-degradable waste to compost

grow green

 Biodegradable waste is not

a waste it is one of the best
source of nutrients for plants
Be it in the farm or be it at
home it is the source of
HUMUS the building block of
agriculture when composted
Else the two major
components lignin and
cellulose, in the organic
matter, simply get oxidized to
carbon dioxide.
Compost all organic waste
make own organic fertilizer.

Pelrich composorb is the first product in

India that can claim complete

Challenges
Composting
Segregation: Organic waste should be 100% devoid of
inorganic material
Major challenge: to maintain the aerobic nature of
composting - gets progressively difficult due to leaching
liquid & size reduction in the composting material.
Hinders free passage of air thereby reducing aerobic
composting & create anaerobic condition.
It is well known fact that anaerobic condition create stench,
leach liquid and pathogenic microbes.
Solution: with Pelrich Composorb in Carbon Neutral
ways.
First the solid and liquid waste is sandwiched between
spongy Pelrich Composorb that can absorb moisture.
Pelrich Composorb also adsorbs stench and obnoxious
gases and provides free passage of air through the matrix
for maintaining aerobic condition through out composting.
Waste disintegrates into uniform particles along with
Pelrich Composorb into healthy nutrient rich6 organic

Pelrich ComposorbTM:

farm waste layered

with Composorb compost in 45 days.

Pelrich ComposorbTM : for domestic use

can compost all veg and non-veg
waste without
stench
Composorb bag: in combination
with 2 composting bins will
convert all the domestic waste
into soil less planting media: to
grow plants
Sandwich composorb with
domestic waste, leave for 15
days to obtain soil less planting

Add a 4 inch layer of biodegradable waste (no free

liquid).
2. Add 1 inch layer of Pelrich Composorb over the waste such that the waste is
completely covered. (obnoxious gas produced during composting is
absorbed by Pelrich Composorb.)

3. Close the vessel with a lid with enough holes permitting the air to pass
through freely through the composting vessel.
4. Continue steps 1-3 daily. The vessel will get filled up by 15-20 days. Repeat
with the second vessel as 1-7. By the 30th-45th day, the first vessel would
have completed composting. The first vessel may be emptied into a bag to
obtain Planting media.
5. The product derived in step 7 is a soil less planting media which can be used
(instead of Pelrich Composorb) for one more cycle of composting as
explained in steps 2-6. Continue steps 1-3 daily. The vessel will get filled up
by 15-20 days. Repeat with the second vessel as 1-7. By the 30th-45th day,
the first vessel would have completed composting. The first vessel may be
emptied into a bag to obtain Planting media.
5. The product derived in step 7 is a soil less planting media which can be used
(instead of Pelrich Composorb) for one more cycle of composting as
explained in steps 2-6.
6. The compost derived by using planting media however
cannot be used further as it would have lost its capacity for
ACCUA. This however can now be used for Organic farming.
7. Thus 20L kit of Pelrich Composorb and the planting media
generated from that will provide composting materials for 4

Compost Process Overview

Advanced composting process in Pelrich Composorb bed
provides - - Breakdown: Of even ligno-cellulosic waste like banana bunch
without pulverization
Humus Build-up: Waste converted to Humus - fixing carbon
while in pyrolysis the carbon emission is massive
Stabilization: Fixing nutrients, enhances microbial population
in soil, enabling organic cultivation.

Enhances Crop Yield
Compost used to grow crops will show a
dramatic increase in crop yield ONLY if it is good
quality compost

What is planting media?

Plants dont grow on soil, they do in Humus
Soil is a technically inert material made of silica and other
minerals, where plants only anchor for the physical support
For absorbing nutrients it need HUMUS the dynamic
interface into which the roots grow
In natural soil, where the humus content is less than 5%,
the plants need to spread its roots searching for the humus
to have required surface area to interface with humus for
eg: an average shrub 25Litres of soil to spread out its roots
More the humus in the soil, lesser root length required. For
eg: the shrub mentioned earlier needs only 5L of soil if it has
25% humus the principle behind PLANTING MEDIA
PLANTING MEDIA is humus enriched growing media for
plants.

COMPOSITION
Prepared from coir pith compost enriched with adequate dosage
of essential nutrients growing media very superior to soil.
