Modelling methane and vinyl chloride in soil surrounding landfills
Sanitary landfilling is used in many countries as a preferred method for disposal of household wastes for reasons of simplicity and economics. Immediately following its deposition within a landfill, most of the organic fraction of waste will begin to undergo degradation through chemical and bacterial action. Landfill gas (LFG) is a product of biodegradation and consists of primarily methane ...

Optimising biogas generation in the UK and Germany - Case Study
Methane makes money. It generates energy revenues, carbon credits and is part of bio-treatment sludge processing. In most of the world it has only just begun. Measuring what we are doing and being responsible with this potentially damaging greenhouse gas makes good sense. With gas production for revenue, measurement is essential. While landfill gas analysis has been required for compliance with ...

Cost-Effective Hydrogen Sulfide Treatment Strategies for Commercial Landfill Gas Recovery: Role of Increasing C&D (Construction and Demolition) Waste
Documento sin título There are more than 350 commercial landfill gas recovery operations in the U.S. which generate electricity on-site, supply industrial gas-fired boilers, or produce substitute natural gas fuels such as CNG. Historically, very few have required H2S treatment. However, many landfills are now accepting large quantities of construction and demolition (C&D) ...

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 ...

ENER-CORE Power Station at Attero Landfill Schinnen, Holland - Case Study
THE CHALLENGE: Attero, one of the leading waste management companies in the Netherlands and producer of green gas, had a closed landfill in Schinnen, Holland, which was producing low quality gas with a methane content below 30% which conventional gas turbines could not efficiently operate on. Attero sought a technology that could effectively deal with low methane gases. THE SOLUTION: The 250kW ...

How Many Anaerobic Digesters Are in the US?
There is enormous potential to increase the extraction of energy from farm waste Agricultural waste is one of the largest sources of methane emitted into the atmosphere from human activities. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas but it’s also highly combustible, making it a valuable source of renewable energy when captured. Anaerobic digesters can convert farm waste into methane-rich ...

The modelling of biochemical–thermal coupling effect on gas generation and transport in MSW landfill
The landfill gas generation was investigated based on the theories of the thermodynamics, microbial dynamics and chemical dynamics. The coupling model was developed for describing the gas transport and heat release. And the relationship between the gas generation rate and the temperature was proposed. The parameters in the gas generation model were obtained by bioreactor test in order to evaluate ...

Reduced Emissions for Landfill Gas Installations
The use of landfill gas as a source of renewable energy is increasing. For environmental and safety reasons, the owners of the waste storage sites have to strictly monitor and control the construction, operations, and emissions generated. Sulzer offers solutions to control these emissions within the limits given by the government. Landfill gas is similar to natural gas, but it is created by the ...

Geotech’s first GA5000 landfill gas analyser takes 100,000 readings for SUEZ environnement - Case Study
Geotech’s first GA5000 analyser, manufactured three years ago, was recently spotted in the company’s calibration rig. This portable landfill gas monitor was the first production unit of the newly launched GA5000 gas analyser range and has prompted Geotech to look into the analyser’s life since then. The analyser was on its sixth service since manufacture, under Geotech’s ...
