With responsibility for a large area of northern Scotland and the western isles, Highland Council invests considerable sums of money on monitoring the environmental impact of 14 landfill sites throughout the region. This involves regularly testing surface water, groundwater and leachate samples for various components as well as monitoring the production of landfill gases. Testing schedules therefore generate considerable quantities of data.
To handle this data technicians employed numerous spreadsheets but they often experienced difficulty entering and extracting the information efficiently. After installing Monitor-LT the council found that data handling and assessment was greatly simplified. Both are now more perform. Council staff have also benefited from being able to view historic data for metal contaminants that are nearly exceeding therefore been spotted early. Figures exceeding consent levels are usually flagged up at the data entry stage.
About the Project
Leader in the management of solid waste, Veolia materials residual is established in the Quebec region for over forty years. 22 600 tonnes are produced and beneficially used each year, which in total translate to 300 000 tonnes of organic matter diverted from landfills since the beginning of the program.
Recycling cardboard for use as new packaging material saves costs for the manufacturer. Unfortunately, landfilling the ragger wire that comes as a byproduct of the recycling process is costly. With the help of TANA Shark, this added cost can be turned into profit by separating the metal and selling it to be used again.Ragger wire or pulper tail is the residue of steel wires and plastic that remains after a pulping process. A mass of recyclable paper is being processed with the help of water. The remaining mass,...
Expensive and diesel-hungry waste shredder led to an innovation in crushing construction and demolition waste (C&D waste). The compaction force of a twin drum design landfill compactor is unparalleled. When directed straight down onto the unsorted waste or landfill residue, the solid steel crushing teeth bite into the waste. The crushing is so efficient that the required fraction size is achieved with just a few passes of the landfill compactor. This results in savings in operation costs, and there is no need...
At the beginning of 2016, Chalk River Laboratories (CRL), Ontario/Canada, which is part of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), put into operation a Urraco 75 DK mobile shredder from Lindner (www.l-rt.com) on their site. On the landfill for non-contaminated waste, which is operated by the company`s Decommissioning & Waste Management division, the shredder is in permanent use crushing wood, plastics and light materials from demolition, renovation and new building work. On the 40 km² site with around 160...
