The Behaviour of PVC in Landfill
This study carries out an analysis of the behaviour of PVC waste in landfills. An estimation of the quantities of PVC waste landfilled annually is presented. The study provides a survey of existing literature on the behaviour of PVC in landfills, in particular the behaviour of additives present in PVC waste (heavy metals, phthalates). In addition, practical experiments have been carried out in ...

Does A Low-Maintenance Landfill Compactor Make A Difference?
Ease of maintenance on a landfill compactor may seem like a common design concept, but at Aljon, it’s one of our top priorities. Maintenance that is easy, equates to maintenance that is most often completed properly per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Fewer maintenance requirements and convenient access to all the maintenance points is paramount. For landfill compactors, there are ...

Non-recyclable but not ready for a landfill
They say recycling is dead. In the current model with the economy as it is, I’d be inclined to agree. But it doesn’t have to be that way. When we as companies start focusing on how we can collaboratively increase our efficiency, decrease our workloads and create smarter customers, we all win. That’s what an upcycling-focused products company does—choosing a different route ...

A laboratory study on stabilization criteria of semi-aerobic landfill
The semi-aerobic landfill has been widely used as a sustainable landfill technology. However, the stabilization indicator system and stabilization criteria of semi-aerobic landfill have not been developed yet. In this study, the stabilization indicator system and stabilization criteria of semi-aerobic landfill were studied on the basis of simulation tests and a mathematical method. The results ...

Potential and limitation of UAV for monitoring subsidence in municipal landfills
Multitemporal topographic measurements are essential for monitoring municipal landfills for economic and security reasons. Accurate evaluation of the landfill volumes still to exploit and the extent of subsidence occurring in the closed plots are critical parameters in landfill management. A municipal landfill located in central Italy has been imaged by a UAV helicopter able to fly in full ...

Landfill and Energy: A possible Combination Leachate and Distillation - Case Study
Leachate is a product derived from the anaerobic transformation of the organic substances present in the waste. It is a liquid with different levels of pollutants present, the form and quantity of which will depend on factors such as the type of landfill, and the quantity of rainwater which filters through the landfill, mixing with the humidity of the waste itself. Due to the high level of ...

Glenmore Landfill’s life expectancy increased for 12-15 years in Canada
Ineffective compaction along with extensive use of cover soil are lowering the life expectencies of landfills. Aiming for better compaction is the easiest way to add more operation years for continuing revenues. For increasing the compaction efficiency, the city of Kelowna in Canada purchased a TANA E520 landfill compactor to Glenmore Landfill. According to Ken Muller, the Solid Waste ...

Using a track-type tractor (bulldozer) as a compactor
Track-type tractor (=Bulldozer) is very popular machine in the landfill. TTT usually prepares the site by spreading the first waste layer because bottom layers of a new site can be damaged when real landfill compactor is used. During the normal landfill operation TTT is usually used for building access and haul roads and spreading cover soil. It can be also used as a feeding machine for landfill ...

VSEP helps landills to meet strict discharge guidelines by removing suspended solids and dissolved organics and inorganics from landfill leachate
One of the most important problems with designing and maintaining a landfill is managing the leachate that is generated when water passes through the waste. The leachate consists of many different organic and inorganic compounds that may be either dissolved or suspended. Regardless of the nature of the compounds, they pose a potential pollution problem for local ground and surface waters. Many ...
