Biogass emission prognosis at the landfills

Methane emission from passively degased landfills and landfills with mechanically- biologically pre-treated municipal solid waste

Estimation method for national methane emission from solid waste landfills

In keeping with the global efforts on inventorisation of methane emission, municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are recognised as one of the major sources of anthropogenic emissions generated from human activities. In India, most of the solid wastes are disposed of by landfilling in low-lying areas located in and around the urban centres resulting in generation of large quantities of biogas co...

Applying guidance for methane emission estimation for landfills.

Quantification of methane emission from landfills is important to evaluate measures for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Both the United Nations and the European Union have adopted protocols to ensure quantification of methane emission from individual landfills. The purpose of these protocols is to disclose emission data to regulators and the general public. Criteria such as timeliness, c...

Post-closure Care Completion at Msw Landfills and Residual Risks

(2011) " Post-closure care completion at MSW landfills and residual risks " , In: Proceedings 4th International Workshop " Hydro-physico-mechanics of landfills (HPM4) " , SUMMARY: In this work we present a modelling approach to evaluate residual environmental risks in view of different post-closure management strategies. Potential emission rates of a landfill are estimated based on different sc...

Landfill Gas System Considerations at High-btu Landfills

There are generally three broad categories of landfill-gas-to-energy (LFGTE) projects: electric power generation, medium-BTU industrial fuel; and high-BTU pipeline gas. During initial feasibility studies, landfill owners and developers should weigh the advantages of each with regard to the technology, local markets, landfill conditions, and site proximity to potential users. There has been an i...
