BioThermal Compost

BioThermal Compost is a concept for industrial compost heat-recovery hardware — equipment that captures the heat microbial activity naturally generates inside a compost mass and moves it into water for farm applications like greenhouse heating or process water. The core pitch: heat is already a byproduct of composting; recovery just makes it usable.

This is a genuinely technical, mechanical product — hard to explain without a real photograph of the hardware. The challenge was making an unfamiliar thermal-engineering concept understandable through diagrams and interaction rather than product photography that doesn't exist.

Show a circular waste-to-heat process as a sequence of measurable stages rather than an abstract sustainability claim.

I structured the site around the physical process itself: a compost cutaway showing cool, active and thermal-core zones a visitor can inspect, paired with the signature tool — a heat-recovery BTU estimator where adjusting compost mass, temperature, water flow and efficiency recalculates estimated thermal output live.

A warm, earthy palette (compost browns shifting into a heat-glow accent) visually reinforcing the "waste heat becomes usable energy" narrative, with clean engineering-sheet typography for the technical data sections.

Built with semantic HTML5, modular CSS and vanilla JavaScript. The BTU estimator and thermal dashboard are self-contained calculators clearly labeled as illustrative engineering estimates — the site repeatedly notes that final sizing should be verified by a qualified engineer.

A sustainability-focused engineering concept that makes an unfamiliar thermal-recovery process explorable through diagrams and a working estimator, while consistently flagging every output figure as an illustrative estimate rather than certified engineering data.

Process-driven businesses are best explained as a sequence, not a mission statement — show the loop, not the values behind it.
