Physical, biological and chemical effects on unsorted fractions of industrial solid waste in waste fuel storage

• Technical, biological and environmental problems encountered in the storage of industrial waste fuel are analysed and discussed. Measurements of temperature, moisture content, oxygen, methane and carbon dioxide during the storage period are presented. It is shown that the temperature increases rapidly to 70-90 degrees C and the oxygen content decreases to almost zero in the lower parts of the storage pile. After several months of high but stable temperature conditions, self-ignition occurred in the storage piles. The test results are related to the proper design of storage piles. (C) 1996 ISWA.
