Wasser- und Gastransport in Deponien mit mechanisch-biologisch vorbehandelten Abfällen

Experiments were carried out in a reactor with mechanically, biologically and thermally pre-treated waste at densities close to those in landfill sites. Low water and gas permeabilities were measured (saturated waste permeability from 2.0E-O6 to 4.9F-10 m/s). This call lead to problems in drainage of leachate or extraction of landfill gas. In addition the period of consolitation call be prolonged.
