The values of thermal conductivity coefficient were measured as a function of compost temperature, density and age. The values ranged from 0.171 to 0.300 W/mK. The optimum parameters for process running were selected. Basing on them it was estimated how much heat will be possible to recuperate during the composting process on industrial scale using a battery of heat exchangers. For artificially aerated pile with the following dimensions: lower base 8 m, upper base 5 m, height 3.5 m, length 3 m; it will be possible to recuperate approximately 7.4 kW (from 1 m2 of heat exchanger surface - 774 W).}, type={Article}, title={Recovery of Heat in the Aerobic Phase of Composting Process of Municipal Waste}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123421/PDF-MASTER/10_AE_VOL_31_1_2005_Klejment_Recovery.pdf}, keywords={composting process, heat recuperation, heat exchanger}, }
