Gas Monitoring at Landfills – What To Monitor, Collect and Analyse The Data
Got strange smells drifting from your landfill? Worried about gas creeping into nearby homes? Gas monitoring at landfills isn’t just about bad odours. It’s about keeping people safe and meeting tough rules. Every bit of rubbish that breaks down underground releases gases that can explode or harm the environment if nobody’s monitoring what’s happening and […]
Is Your Landfill Site Ready? Assessing When to Install Gas Flares & Landfill EfW Systems
The urgency for compliance with the COP29 methane pledge means waste managers must act immediately. Gas flares are mandatory for low volumes, while EfW systems transform hazards into valuable energy. Install EfW when LFG is significant and steady to secure compliance and profits ahead of deadlines…
Biogas Compression Equipment Safety: Your Essential Checklist
Maintaining biogas compression equipment is crucial for preventing explosions and toxic gas exposure. Key safety measures include using explosion-proof components, routine inspections, and personal protective equipment. Proper practices ensure operational safety and facility integrity, safeguarding personnel and assets from potential hazards. Explore the essential safety checklist to stay protected…
Best Practices in Odour Control Using Landfill Gas Extraction Systems
Landfill gas extraction systems effectively control odour by capturing and treating gases from decomposing waste. Proper system design, strategic well placement, and regular maintenance are crucial for minimizing fugitive emissions and odour complaints, with reductions of up to 85% achievable when these best practices are followed…
UK Landfill Gas Emissions Control
The Stringent EA Controls, Which Limit UK Landfill Gas Emissions to Minimise the Emission of Carbon Dioxide thought to be a Significant Cause of Climate Change The UK waste management industry is required to control landfill gas emissions to a high standard. The Environment Agency (EA) is responsible for regulating landfills and ensuring that all […]
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 detect gas migration, identify uncontrolled emissions and check that gas collection and treatment systems are working. A useful monitoring plan covers methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen and relevant trace gases, using instruments and sampling methods suited to each task. This guide explains monitoring wells and boreholes, surface surveys, building protection, equipment […]
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 […]
