In-situ estimation of the methane generation rate for a wet and highly organic solid waste landfill
Significant investments in landfill gas utilisation projects are required at project commencement. The methane generation rate for the Villa Dominico Landfill in Buenos Aires, Argentina is 0.26 yr−1, a very high rate as a result of the high organic content in the waste, and high moisture conditions within the refuse. The implications for landfills is that landfill gas recovery projects must be ...

Application of LCA to support solid waste management policy in Phuket
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is employed to evaluate the environmental performance of the existing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management system in Phuket and compared with different possible alternative Integrated Waste Management Systems (IWMSs). The results show that the scenario comprising source separation of waste for anaerobic digestion and recycling plus incineration (with energy recovery) ...

Municipal solid waste - waste to energy conversion in India: an overview
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is generated in enormous quantities, in India, causing environmental problems. It is collected primarily by sweeping in India and dumped on the outskirts of urban areas, which pollute the environment. Such MSWs also release methane and carbon dioxide, which are important greenhouse gases. MSW comprises biodegradable material. The MSW disposal methods in India mainly ...

Estimating national landfill methane emissions
This paper estimates national methane emissions from solid waste disposal sites in Panama over the time period 1990–2020 using both the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Waste Model spreadsheet and the default emissions estimate approach presented in the 1996 IPCC Good Practice Guidelines. The IPCC Waste Model has the ability to calculate emissions from a variety of solid ...

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) ...

Economic evaluation of a landfill system with gas recovery for municipal solid waste management: a case study
Economic activity uses resources, which leads to waste generation. With rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, per capita solid waste generation has increased considerably. Solid waste generation data for last two decades shows an alarming increase. Owing to its improper and untimely collection, the transport and disposal of municipal solid waste poses a severe threat to various components of ...

Key Applications of Permeation Systems
Permeation systems are devices that are both simple and effective, employed to produce exacting gas blends for a broad spectrum of uses. Users generally choose permeation if low-level concentrations of gas mixtures are required or when the required gases are not easily available in bulk forms. Some of the key applications of permeation systems will be outlined in this blog ...

Formulating LandGem model for estimation of landfill gas under Indian scenario
Mostly in India, solid waste without any segregation is deposited into open dumping sites. Through these sites, there is uncontrolled emission of methane and landfill gas. The landfill gas has tremendous potential in terms of converting and using them as source of fuel. The emission of landfill gas depends on types of wastes, its rate of biodegradability, its methane potential, level of ...

What is energy recovery?
Processes like incineration and anaerobic digestion not only provide sources of energy, but they also reduce waste volume The term “energy recovery” often is applied only to a narrow number of methods for converting wastes into energy, when in fact it applies to a broad range of technologies used to create heat, electricity, or fuel. Energy recovery gives governments and businesses ...

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 ...
