Wireless Compost Temperature Monitoring System

Ensure regulatory compliance, prevent fires,  and avoid tedious, expensive and dangerous process of  manual monitoring.

Quanturi compost temperature monitoring system 

Quanturi’s compost monitoring system continuously tracks temperature to optimize biowaste decomposition and prevent fires caused by spontaneous combustion.
The temperature history gives a complete view of the composting process from fermentation to curing and maturation. The generated reports are a guarantee for sanitary authorities and customers that compost has been produced in compliance with the regulations in effect. You can set custom high and low temperature alerts in the app, and receive call, SMS and email alert notifications if temperatures go beyond your defined range.
The Quanturi system is compatible with all types of composting (windrows and in-vessels) and all types of inputs (green waste, sludge, digestate ...).

Benefits of Quanturi compost monitoring system

Compliance

The Quanturi compost monitoring system avoids the tedious, expensive and imprecise task of manually measuring and documenting temperatures. The online service offers instant temperature visualization and conformity reports in accordance with the relevant sanitary regulations.

Safety

The wireless Quanturi waste monitoring system reduces risks of work accidents by avoiding contacts with dangerous fumes (e.g. ammoniac, nitrogen). It also sends temperature alerts to prevent fires. Temperature monitoring is done remotely and continuously and data is available online at any time.

Quality

Continuous temperature monitoring with the Quanturi system helps determine the right time to turn and aerate the compost pile during decomposition. It also helps control the curing and maturing phases, improving the quality of the compost.

Compost temperature monitoring with wireless Tango XN sensors

How does the Quanturi bio-waste monitoring system work?

Tango XN temperature probes for compost

The Tango XN temperature probes have been specifically designed for use in corrosive composting environment. These probes are placed in compost piles and wirelessly measure the temperature. Quanturi’s yellow, robust wireless temperature probes are easily visible and compatible with all installation configurations, including composting platforms and digestate management. Their spike length is 100 cm or 200 cm to meet national temperature monitoring standards.

The mobile base station

The mobile base station collects measurement data from the Tango XN compos temperature monitoring probes and sends it to Quanturi’s secure cloud . Equipped with an integrated SIM card, the mobile base station receives real-time data from the temperature measurement probes. It processes this information and transmits it to the cloud, where our compost monitoring application retrieves and analyses it.
Quanturi compost temperature monitoring application

The Quanturi compost temperature monitoring software application

Quanturi.app

Quanturi.app is the software application used to monitor and manage the temperature monitoring system. The application is available in web address: https://quanturi.app and can be accessed from any device (smartphone, computer, tablet).

The software application gives full control over the temperature monitoring process. The composting site can be virtually mapped to visualize the locationand the temperature history of each probe placed in compost windrow. Activity reports are also available for traceability and conformity of compost.  

In the application, you can set custom high and low temperature alerts, and it will notify you via call, SMS and email if the temperature rises above or drops below your pre-set limits.

RC 12 compost ventilation controller 

The RC12 is the latest addition to the Quanturi composting monitoring system, designed to optimize the composting process while reducing energy costs. It enables compost producers to remotely control ventilation lines, effectively regulating temperature and oxygen levels.

Compost ventilation control benefits

Key benefits of compost ventilation controller

  • Reduce energy costs

    Set up your ventilation plan to align with peak and off-peak pricing in your electricity contract.

  • Remote access

    Control and check the ventilation of your compost from any location using an easy to use application.

  • Fire safety

    Automate windrow cooling process through continuous ventilation until a safer temperature is achieved in case of a runaway composting process.

  • Individual fan control

    Manage each fan to ensure optimal oxygenation and temperature target achievement.

  • Temperature-controlled ventilation

    Set temperature targets, define ventilation cycles tailored to the compost composition, and take into account adverse weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How i can monitor compost temperature with Quanturi System?

Quanturi wireless temperature monitoring system combine industrial-grade wireless probes with cloud-based software, allowing users to monitor compost temperature remotely, receive alerts, and maintain optimal composting conditions without manual measurements.

Why is compost temperature monitoring important?

Monitoring compost temperature is essential to:


Ensure proper organic waste decomposition

Achieve pathogen and weed seed sanitization

Prevent overheating that can kill beneficial microorganisms

Maintain compliance with composting regulations

Consistent temperature data helps operators make informed decisions about turning, aeration, and moisture control.

What is the best compost thermometer or temperature probe?

The best compost temperature probes are wireless, long-stem, and designed for deep compost piles. Quanturi wireless temperature probes are widely used because they:

Measure temperature at depths up to 2 meters

Connect to cloud-based software

Provide real-time monitoring and alerts

Support multiple users for commercial composting operations

How deep should compost temperature be measured?

For accurate monitoring, temperatures should be measured at multiple depths:


Near-surface temperature: approximately 12 inches below the surface

Core temperature: 4 feet (or deeper) into the compost pile

Quanturi’s 1-meter and 2-meter probes are ideal for capturing both surface and core temperatures in windrows and static piles.

How often should compost temperature be checked?

Manual compost systems often require daily checks. With Quanturi wireless compost temperature monitoring system, readings can be collected automatically at predefined intervals—such as every 15 minutes or hourly—providing continuous insights without labor-intensive manual checks. This is especially critical during the sanitization phase.

How does Quanturi monitor compost temperature remotely?

Quanturi uses IoT-enabled temperature probes installed directly into the compost pile. These probes transmit temperature data wirelessly to a cloud-based monitoring platform, where users can:


View real-time and historical temperature trends

Set custom alerts for high or low temperatures

Share access with team members or inspectors

This allows full visibility and control over compost conditions from any location.

Where should compost temperature probes be placed?

For a complete temperature profiling of a compost pile, place probes approximately 4 feet off the ground. Measure at multiple depths to capture temperature variations across the pile. This approach provides a more accurate understanding of compost health and consistency.

Can compost temperature monitoring help with regulatory compliance?

Yes. Continuous compost temperature monitoring supports compliance with:


Sanitization and pathogen reduction standards

Organic waste processing regulations

Documentation and audit requirements

Automated data logging provides reliable temperature records that can be shared with regulatory authorities when needed.

Is wireless compost temperature monitoring suitable for large-scale operations?

Yes. Wireless systems are especially beneficial for:

Commercial composting facilities

Agricultural composting operations

Municipal organic waste management sites

Quanturi’s system supports multiple probes, user access control, and centralized monitoring, making it scalable for large organizations.

What temperature should compost reach for sanitization?

During the sanitization stage, compost typically needs to reach 55–65°C (131–149°F) for several consecutive days, depending on local regulations.

Wireless monitoring systems help ensure these temperatures are reached and maintained without overheating, improving compost quality and safety.
