The Final Cover

In a perennial research project, we are currently testing a new, innovative technique for the final covering of the landfill body. The system is supposed to replace or complement the components, which are so far used for the final cover, in the future.The three central components of the system are the reverse irrigation, the gas collection and the leakage location system.With the reverse irrigation the biological mineralisation reactions within the waste body are sustained. Following, the reactions take place controlled and much faster. The aftercare period is significantly shortened. Furthermore the waste body becomes smaller and gas is produced, which can be excellently used for generating energy.
