Solid recovered fuels - Determination of the current rate of aerobic microbial activity using the real dynamic respiration index EN 15590:2011

Publication date:   Oct 17, 2011

Scope

This European Standard specifies a method to determine the current rate of aerobic microbial activity of a
solid recovered fuel. The methods indirectly estimate the potentiality of odours production, vectors attraction
etc. The current rate of biodegradation can be expressed in milligrams O2 kg dm-1 h-1.
WARNING - SRF can contain potentially pathogenic organisms. Take appropriate precautions when
handling them and those whose properties are unknown.
