Methane is generated within 6 to eighteen months after solid waste is put in a landfill. Top production starts roughly a year after deposit in most established landfills, but serious volumes of the gas can be generated for 20 or more years after that whe... Read >

Dense Asphaltic Concrete has been used as a Landfill Lining membrane material for many years and although it is not commonly seen in the UK, it is used much more often in Europe, and particularly in Germany.
Asphaltic Concrete is the black substance ba... Read >

Gas is produced in landfill sites due to anaerobic digestion of biodegradable organic wastes and this constitutes the big other environmental hazard of landfills after landfill leachate.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been known for a long while, and is... Read >

Landfill Leachate and landfill gas are the main landfill hazards which waste disposal to land imposes the environment. We will discuss both in this article.
Landfill leachate is the name given to water that has passed through solid waste and contains o... Read >

Waste prevention and recycling which will massively reduce the amount of waste going into landfills are critical to stopping climate change. Waste-to-energy (WTE) plants create heat and electricity from burning mixed solid waste. Waste minimization and re... Read >

Landfill gas is produced in landfills by the decomposition of organic materials. The primary components of LFG are methane (50%) and carbon dioxide (48%). This gas is a product of the decomposition of organic materials in the landfill. Landfill gas is a t... Read >

Methane Gas Extraction from Landfills is Not as Simple as it Looks
Methane gas extraction from landfills is carried out so that the landfill gas can be burnt in a flare or be used to power a gas engine power generator. In many countries a number of these... Read >
