Landfill Gas Production
How the Landfill Gas to Energy Process Works
For those that ever wondered how the landfill gas to energy process (also known as LFGTE) works? This article takes you through how waste management companies convert naturally occurring landfill gas into clean renewable energy at its LFGTE facilities. To give you an idea of how much the landfill gas to energy process is contributing […]
Landfill Gas Production Rate Quick Calculation Method
The Ready Reckoner or Rule of Thumb Estimate of Landfill Gas Production Rate/Yield! Quickly gain a VERY rough estimate of a landfill’s Landfill Gas Production Rate! For the first considerations of a potential landfill gas production rate, before carrying out a full yield evaluation, for landfill gas utilization projects, you can use the following rules (but […]
Why Landfill Gas Recovery is Important
The Importance of Landfill Gas Recovery in Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Proportion of Active Landfill Gas Recovery Achievable Over the Life of a Modern Sanitary Landfill Due to its high content of methane, landfill gas recovery can be regarded on the one hand as a useful alternative source of energy, when collected and […]
3 Methods Landfill Engineers Use to Assess Landfill Gas Production Rates
Many people have decided to assess landfill gas production. Ever since the first gas was seen bubbling from landfills in the 1970s, engineers have predicted landfill gas production, and recently a number of calculation models have been devised to predict the total volume and energy value/ climate change effect of landfill gas over the whole […]
