Emissions Control
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…
Landfill Gas Pin Wells: A Low-Cost, High-Impact LFG Extraction Option
Discover the advantages of landfill gas pin wells, a cost-effective solution for efficient LFG extraction. Easier installation, lower costs, and increased gas capture make them ideal for sustainability. Learn how pin wells transform waste into energy, reducing emissions and supporting renewable projects across waste management facilities…
UK Landfill Gas Emissions – Stringent EA Controls Implemented
The waste management industry is required to control UK landfill gas emissions to a high standard. The Environment Agency (EA) ensures that all licensed (closed) or permitted landfill sites which contain landfill gas are regulated to ensure that emissions are kept to a minimum. This is enforced either under the pollution prevention and control (PPC) […]
Fugitive Emissions of Methane and Landfill Gas Explained
It is well known that fugitive emissions of methane and landfill gas occur when methane escapes from production facilities, wells, pipes, compressors and other equipment associated with coal mining or natural gas extraction, landfills, and biogas plants. It is obviously very important to reduce fugitive emissions to an absolute minimum. Why are Fugitive Escapes of […]
Landfills or Incineration? Which is Best for Reducing Carbon Emissions
Greenhouse Gas Generation – Landfilling and Incineration Compared So, you want to know which is better for the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions – Landfills or Incineration? When waste is incinerated, two greenhouse gases are produced, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. The IPCC has produced detailed guidance on what counts as a greenhouse gas and what does […]
