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.

Project overview
The Donzi Lane Landfill in Atlanta, GA had been in use since the 1970's for construction and demolition waste disposal. The site was nearing its...
In this study the biotreatability of Jebel Chakir landfill leachate (Tunisia) using a mixture of dairy industry reject (bactofugate) and Aloe sp. leaf gel was evaluated. The effect of Aloe gel fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain was investigated against some selected bacterial and fungal strains. The inoculation size effect of the treatment mixtures (2, 6, 10 and 12%) in the treatment efficiency was also studied. The obtained results showed that when natural Aloe gel and bactofugate mixtures...
An aerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was applied to treat landfill leachate generated from a domestic waste incineration plant. Pollutant removal efficiency of this reactor under stable operating condition was studied. The biomass, bacteria species, and microbial metabolism in this reactor were investigated. These results showed that the average removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen in the aerobic MBBR achieved 64% and 97% in the optimum conditions, respectively. The...
According to the Landfill Regulation and Federal Emission Law in Germany it is mandatory on landfills to monitor weather data such as temperature, precipitation, evaporation, wind direction and speed. This is not only good for environmental protection purposes but also for the residents nearby. In this regard two new Lufft weather stations and one Lufft wind sensor were set up recently in Hamberg and Esslingen.Weather data at Landfill Hamberg mbHThe Landfill Hamberg close to Maulbronn had searched for a new...
Customer: CE DYNAMIC KFTCountry: HungaryMachinery: STONE CRUSHER MOD. CAESAR 2Stone crusher mod. Guidetti Caesar2, for inert’s recycling, indicated to be used in small yards with lack of space.Advantages: stand-alone, it requires one operator only and allows to directly reutilize the grinded inert, thus avoiding transport costs as well as landfill ones.
