The design and installation of the gas collection system

The designer of gas collection plants has the task to fulfill optimally the important criteria: stability of gas quality efficiency of collection economic viability of the plant The stabilisation of the gas quality helps to solve the problem between the uneven gas production of the landfill on the one side and the steady supply of gas to the utilisation plant, on the other. Only a ...

Disposal options for solid waste of Bangalore city based on its characteristics

A detailed analysis of Bangalore's solid waste has been done to suggest various management options for safe disposal. It has been observed that Bangalore's solid waste contains a larger proportion of degradable waste compared to many other cities. Based on detailed analysis of available data, it has been suggested that a landfill with a leachate and gas collection system is better than an inert ...

Compost as a landfill cover material for the elimination of methane emissions

Landfills, with about 40 - 60 Mio t emitted CH4 each year, are considered to be an important global source of the greenhouse gas methane. These emissions are especially caused by inadequate gas collection systems and uncontrolled emissions from old dumps and unauthorised open dumping. With traditional gas collection systems only 40 to 60 % of the produced gas can be collected and reused or safely ...

Measurements of Methane Emissions and Surface Methane Oxidation at Landfills: WR1125

Methane emissions from landfill were estimated to account for around 3% of the UK‟s total greenhouse gas emissions in 2009. The reported figure for methane emissions from landfill in the UK represents 41.5% of all UK methane emissions. The IPCC guidelines indicate that measurement of methane emissions is necessary to validate models and to provide confidence in country specific model ...

Historical pipeline construction cost analysis

This study aims to provide a reference for the pipeline construction cost, by analysing individual pipeline cost components with historical pipeline cost data. Cost data of 412 pipelines recorded between 1992 and 2008 in the Oil and Gas Journal are collected and adjusted to 2008 dollars with the chemical engineering plant cost index (CEPCI). The distribution and share of these 412 pipeline cost ...

Hurricane and ReCyclone® systems for emission control and value added product recovery

The development of high efficiency Hurricane and ReCyclone® systems allows their application either for emission control or value-added product recovery. The purpose of this paper is to present not only the performance of these systems, but also a model to predict in a more realistic way the collection efficiency of a gas cyclone with or without partial recirculation. Some experimental ...

GTI helps keep Kamloops beautiful - case study

The City of Kamloops is located in the interior of British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province. As part of Kamloops’ Liquid Waste Management Plan, the city was seeking opportunities to use its wastewater as a resource, rather than treat it solely as waste. One method was to capture methane gas (biogas) produced from the anaerobic treatment of wastewater and use it to generate ...

Kirkland case study

Meloche Landfill 3125 St-Charles Boulevard Kirkland, Quebec The Meloche quarry was approved to accept municipal solid waste (MSW) in 1980. During a period of 12 years, 3.8 million tons of municipal solid was landfilled. By the early 90’s, the quarry, 200’ in depth, was full and landfilling ceased. During the time of the operation of the landfill, the gas collection system was built ...

Sustainable management of household solid waste

In most countries, the majority of household solid waste is landfilled because of associated low capital, operation and maintenance costs. However, many existing landfills have exhausted their handling capacities and new facilities are faced with the problem of siting. Alternatives to traditional landfill practice are required to achieve sustainability in managing solid waste. This manuscript ...
