Abstract
The results of laboratory column tests conducted to assess the effect of the mass loading on the clogging of porous media are presented. The tests were conducted using actual leachate from the Keele Valley Landfill under saturated, anaerobic conditions. It is shown that clogging is greatest where there is the greatest mass loading (near the inlet in this case, but likely near the collection pipes in a field situation). An empirical relationship between the hydraulic conductivity and drainable porosity is presented. Even though it is shown that higher flow rates give rise to less efficient bioreactors, the columns with high flow still experience greater rates of clogging than those with low flow. The columns were found to be severely clogged when the drainable porosity had decreased to about 10% of the initial value. The bulk (wet) density of the clog material is found to range between 1.6 and 2 Mg/m 3 and, on a dry mass basis, 27% of the clog is calcium and 47% is carbonate. The columns were colonized by a diverse consortium of bacteria including methanogens, sulfate-reducing, and denitrifying bacteria, with methanogens being dominant in the portion of the column where clogging was most severe.Key words: leachate collection, clogging, porous media, mass loading, flow rate, anaerobic, microbial.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
