Landfill Gas Bio-oxidation in Passive Biofilters
In this article we discuss landfill gas bio-oxidation (also referred to by many people as the development of the landfill gas biofilter). We also suggest practical methods for avoiding greenhouse gas emissions at closed landfills. This is generally LFG from landfilled waste which is usually 15 years old or older. As time passes, both the […]
