Site selection of sanitary landfills on the small island of Mauritius using the analytical hierarchy process multi-criteria method
This paper focuses on the application of a multi-criteria analysis methodology — the analytical hierarchy process — for the locating of a sanitary landfill on the small island of Mauritius. Four candidate sites were assessed using three main criteria (environmental, technical and socio-economic) and twenty-one sub-criteria. Scores were assigned to each criterion and sub-criterion by stakeholders ...

Status of municipal solid waste management system in India
Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) has become a worldwide concern and is a major issue especially in developing countries due to environmental problems, such as air, soil and water pollution and generation of greenhouse gases from open dumping sites. The MSW management is going through a critical phase due to the non–availability of suitable facilities to treat and dispose of the increasing ...

Your local waste management operation spends more time on odour management than you think
When it comes to odour management at landfills, it’s widely accepted that prevention is better than a cure. Any possibility of slightly reducing odour impact can save navigating the fallout of a disruptive situation for waste management operations and local communities. However, odour is notoriously difficult to measure and manage. Moreover, limiting the impact of offensive odours is a ...

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 ...

Solid waste management project in the building industry: analysing existing proposals
Construction waste (CW) has become a world concern resulting in different problems associated with its massive production and inappropriate disposal. As a result, there are negative impacts on environmental and social issues in urban areas. Therefore it is of utmost importance that firms develop building industry solid waste management projects on their building sites in order to combat this ...

City of Iqaluit to Test MAGS Technology
aluit will be the site for a new waste management pilot project in Nunavut, testing a micro auto gasification system or MAGS. The system will thermally decompose solid waste and oils, reducing the garbage to eight per cent of its original volume. The process creates thermal energy that will be used to heat nearby buildings, and gas that will be the main source of fuel for the system. It can ...

What Is A Rotary Drum Screen?
A rotary drum screen also known as a trommel screen or rotary sieve, is a mechanical screening device used to separate materials by size. It consists of a cylindrical drum that rotates on an axis and contains perforations or slots along its length. The main body of YUBO rotary drum screens is manufactured using wedge wire profiles and support profiles. These wedge wire screens are available in a ...

Time to address the air pollution control residue problem
The incineration of municipal solid waste is gaining increasing importance in the UK, especially as the burning of waste can be used to generate energy, providing a more sustainable solution to our waste problem by diverting it from landfill sites. An issue with incineration is that some of our waste contains hazardous chemicals such as chlorine and lead which are volatilised during the process. ...

Changing Biosolid Technology to Safely Remove PFAS Chemicals
Per and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous. Known as “forever chemicals,” the man-made carbon-fluorine bond is one of the strongest bonds found in nature. PFAS is fast to build up in humans, animals and the environment and very difficult to break down. These substances were developed in the 1940s and 50s and applied to products that range from cookware to dental ...

Managing RCRA statistical requirements to minimize ground water monitoring costs
Abstract This paper will provide an overview of how ground water monitoring statistical choices can significantly impact a facility's ground water monitoring costs. For example, a recent study analyzed the long term ground-water monitoring cost impacts of different statistical analysis approaches on over 20 landfills. The study found that the choice of statistical approach can make over a 50% ...
