A Comparison of Performance of Landfill Gas Collection Wells with Varying Configurations
نویسندگان
چکیده
An investigation to compare the efficiency of landfill gas collection systems with different well numbers (one, two or four) and configurations (vertical or horizontal) has been conducted. The study has shown that with an increasing number of wells, the gas collection rate and efficiency are enhanced and the gas flux at the surface also becomes more uniform. In addition, the study has also suggested that for wells with the same screen length, a vertical well works better than a horizontal well in terms of gas extraction rate; however, it may result in a less uniform gas flux through the surface.

Background & Aim: Leachate and gas emissions from solid waste landfill are two causes of groundwater pollution. Leachate contains large quantities of organic and inorganic matters, and microorganisms which have high potential to contaminate groundwater. The aim of this study is the comparison of the chemical quality of water wells around the Mashhad's old landfill site in 2014. Methods: This...
متن کاملLandfill Gas Monitoring at Borehole Wells using an Autonomous Environmental Monitoring System
An autonomous environmental monitoring system (Smart Landfill) has been constructed for the quantitative measurement of the components of landfill gas found at borehole wells at the perimeter of landfill sites. The main components of landfill gas are the greenhouse gases, methane and carbon dioxide and have been monitored in the range 0-5 % volume. This monitoring system has not only been teste...
متن کاملCombined Landfill Gas and Leachate Extraction Systems
There is currently a shift of emphasis in the approach to treatment of landfill gas and leachate. Until recently, there have been two disparate schools of thought concerning the collection and disposal of these two by-products of organic waste degradation within the same bio-reactor. The tendency in the past has been to study gas and leachate as separate problems each of which requiring a separ...
متن کاملEstimation and Modeling of Biogas Production in Rural Small Landfills (Case Study: Chaharmahaal and Bakhtiari and Yazd Rural Areas)
One of the main factors contributing to greenhouse gas emissions in the environment is the production of pollutant gases in landfills. Collecting the landfill gases (LFG) effectively reduces the emission of gasses from the landfill site. A precise collection system for LFG can create the potential for energy generation in addition to emissions reduction. However, in Iran, the implementation of ...
متن کاملIntegrated Analysis of Choke Performance and Flow Behaviour in High-Rate, Deviated Gas-Condensate Wells
 Understanding the flow behaviour in a gas well is crucial for future production strategies, obtaining bottomhole conditions from wellhead production data, analyzing production data and estimating reservoir properties. In this work, the pressure profile and flow regime are studied on four wells of a multi-well, multi-layer gas-condensate reservoir, producing at high rate. The wells are deviate...
