Assessing MSW degradation by BMP and fibre analysis (2007)
Zheng, B., Richards, D.J., Smallman, D.J., Beaven, R.P.
Samples of fresh and partly composted municipal solid waste (MSW) were placed in 1 l reactors under conditions designed to promote rapid anaerobic degradation of the available organic fraction. The...
Modelling decomposition of MSW in a consolidating anaerobic reactor (2007)
Reichel, T., Ivanova, L.K., Beaven, R.P., Haarstrick, A.
A numerical model is presented based on conceptual considerations of chemical and biological reaction processes in landfills. The model enables the details of mixed-culture population dynamics and...

Operation and performance of horizontal wells for leachate control in a waste landfill (2007)
Powrie, W., Cox, S.E., Beaven, R.P.
This paper presents data on gas and leachate flow rates and leachate levels obtained during a 600 day pumping trial on three retro-fitted horizontal wells in a domestic waste landfill at Rainham, UK....
Hydraulic conductivity of whole and shredded tyres for use in landfill drainage systems (2007)
Hudson, A.P., Beaven, R.P., Powrie, W., Parkes, D.
Whole or shredded scrap tyres are sometimes proposed as an alternative to conventional aggregates in landfill drainage systems. However, landfill basal drainage systems are subjected to large...
Leachate recirculation in a landfill: a simple 1-D model (2007)
White, J.K., Beaven, R.P., Powrie, W., Knox, K.
Leachate is the liquid phase present in the pore spaces of the solid waste material in a landfill. The leachate arises from the liquid content of the waste when it is placed in the landfill, and from...
Ivanova, L., Richards, D. J., Beaven, R. P.
This Technical note invites International Research Groups to model and predict the performance of a well constrained laboratory experiment on the settlement and biodegradation of MSW waste. Data on...
Long term data from the Challenge experiment and a review of responses to the challenge (2007)
Beaven, R.P., Ivanova, L., Richards, D.J.
This paper reviews the responses from various International Research Groups to a Challenge to model and predict the performance of a well constrained laboratory experiment on the settlement and...

Installation of horizontal wells in landfilled waste using directional drilling (2006)
Cox, S.E., Beaven, R. P., Powrie, W., Cole, D.J.
Leachate levels within a landfill must often be controlled for environmental and/or regulatory reasons by means of pumping from wells. Conventional vertical wells are usually used for this purpose,...

Modelling the compression behaviour of landfilled domestic waste (2004)
Hudson, A. P., White, J.K., Beaven, R. P., Powrie, W.
This Paper discusses the mechanisms involved in the compression of domestic waste, and how the resulting compression behaviour may be modelled. Reference is made to experimental data illustrating the...
Landfill Process Modelling Workshop. Modelling flow to leachate wells in landfills (2004)
Al-Thani, A.A., Beaven, R.P., White, J.K.
Vertical wells are frequently used as a means of controlling leachate levels in landfills. They are often the only available dewatering option for both old landfills without any basal leachate...
