Landfill Site Permit Applications – The Role of Risk Assessments in Emissions Control
Landfill site emissions risk assessments are a mandatory requirement for environmental permit applications (previously known as Landfill Site PPC Applications). They identify possible hazards to the environment and public health from landfill gas and leachate. The procedure calls for a thorough examination of landfill emissions, including assessments of the effects on the air, groundwater, and surface […]
Landfill Gas Monitoring Procedures Methods and Guide
Landfill gas (LFG) monitoring procedures involve routine, site-specific procedures to detect gas leaks and ensure operational compliance, including monitoring methane, carbon dioxide, and other trace gases using portable instruments and fixed systems. Read on for our explanation of good practice procedures that include wellhead monitoring for oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide, perimeter monitoring for ambient […]
Landfill Gas Extraction Systems and the Equipment Used for Energy Recovery
In this article, we discuss landfill gas extraction systems and how the landfill gas collected is used to create renewable energy. Waste heat is used in a combined heat & power (CHP) system to improve overall efficiency. Landfill gas (LFG) is extracted from the landfill by exerting a small negative suction pressure on boreholes driven […]
Flare Systems for Landfill Gas: Improving Environmental Compliance
Landfill flare systems convert harmful methane into less potent carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse impact. Enclosed flares offer up to 99.9% efficiency. Compliance with EPA regulations and maintenance are critical for optimal performance, ensuring these systems help us meet environmental goals and protect communities from emissions…
Landfill Gas Power Plants
Landfill Gas Power Plants should be installed at all landfills, where the landfill gas (LFG) extraction rate is large enough to sustain a steady flow for long periods (multiple years). A typical Landfill Gas Power Plant for most landfill sites is an internal combustion engine, or possibly a gas turbine. The typical landfill gas power plant is used […]
Best Portable Landfill Gas Analyzer Reviews & Comparison
Landfill gas monitoring is critical for health, safety, and compliance. A top-notch portable analyzer detects harmful gases in real-time, safeguarding workers and the environment. As regulations tighten, reliable equipment becomes essential for avoiding fines and mitigating risks associated with gas emissions from decomposing waste…
Methane Emissions from Landfills: Problems and Solutions
Methane emissions from landfills significantly contribute to climate change due to their potent greenhouse effect. Capturing and utilizing landfill gas as energy, reducing organic waste, and enhancing recycling are vital solutions. Community engagement and effective policy regulations are key to mitigating these emissions and tackling global warming effectively…
Is Natural Gas Renewable or Nonrenewable?
Natural gas, a major energy source globally, is nonrenewable, formed from ancient organic matter. While it’s a cleaner-burning fossil fuel, its extraction impacts the environment. Despite landfill gas offering renewable methane, transitioning to greener energy necessitates understanding natural gas’s role and limitations in our power systems…
