Re: GAS-L: Spontaeneous combustion/Arson on chips stores

[Luiz Alberto Magri <luizmagri@yahoo.com>]

Gavin,

Wood pile combustion is spontenous and the current
procedure tu avoid this is keeping'em (the chips)
moving. At pulp and paper companies it is usual to
take wood from the bottom of the pile instead of
taking from the top.
