Was'nt intentional. We ground up liquid waste with fly-ash to produce a rubber lump for burial (Solidification And Fixation - SAF). Fly ash is really fecking alkaline, so if the idiot chemist (me) fecked up the technical analysis (prodding shite with pH paper), it went up.
820 Ltr acidic liquid + 1000 Ltr fine alkaline powder, in a little meta box = fecking hot, then fecking nasty smell, then big fire.
Proper chemistry^
(If it did'nt reach the 'big fire' stage we tipped i out into an on-site intemediate land fill. To catch fire over the weekend, when it would'nt disturb us)
