Methane emission potential of open dumps in Chennai: a case study
Monitoring of atmospheric levels of methane and other Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) holds great promise for the mitigation of global warming resulting from increasing radioactive trapping by atmospheric gases. Since, the direct measurements of landfill methane emission found to be difficult, the methane emission potential of the open dumps in Chennai has been estimated using first–order decay models ...

New LFG Collection System Utilizes QED’s Revolutionary LFG Measurement and Control Technology - Case Study
“The main advantage, to me, is the Fine Tune™ Control Valve* that is used on the QED wellhead - it’s one of those revolutionary things in the landfill gas industry. Gate valves don’t give you very good control unless you always want the valve 100% open and you can apply as much vacuum as possible. But when it comes to low-flow wells then it’s important to be able to ...

How are landfills benefiting from incorporating community engagement into their odour management strategies? Let’s find out.
First, let’s address some well-established facts related to solid waste management and odour. s widely known that waste generation is increasing at astronomical rates worldwide. Populations are growing closer to waste management operations that were previously isolated. Estimates of the next few decades show no indication of municipal solid waste generation slowing down. By 2050 ...
