  • Patent number: 5700109
    Abstract: There is described a travelling multi-functional disposal simulation instation for simulating the long-term behaviour of materials for disposal containing organic components. These can comprise disposable house refuse and similar wastes, but also contaminated soils. Simulation serves for recultivation, composing and similar soil investigations. The installation constructed for this purpose comprises a double-walled heatable container, a lower, inner base plate with a slight inclination to the horizontal and with at least one outlet opening at its lowermost point, a horizontal base plate disposed immediately above the said first base plate, and forming the support base for the fill material, and which is in the form of a screen base, two different lid formations extending in a gas-tight manner over the clear width of the container and being vertically adjustable along the inner wall, and a travelling undercarriage receiving the entire container.
