Converting old landfills to energy producing sites, while
capturing emitted greenhouse gases, has faced numerous technical,
financial and social challenges and developments lately. Also, the
re-mining of landfills to recover useful land in dense urban areas
and proper landfill closure has been a subject of discussion and
investigation. Designed as an overview text for landfill management
from cradle to grave, this volume s content stretches from the
fundamentals to the rather indepth details. By putting down their
joint international experience, the authors have intended to both
guide and inspire the user for his or her landfill project.
Introducing the fundamental concepts of landfill gas management
and its needs and importance in the present world energy scenario,
this accessible reference volume presents key landfill gas
management techniques at regional, national and global levels. In
detail, it gives an account of the recent technologies available
for landfill gas treatment and its utilization. It summarizes
landfill gas prediction models developed in various parts of the
world and details their adequacy in various field conditions.
Covering both landfill remediation aspects and economic
considerations while selecting a landfill gas to energy utilization
project, the reader gets familiar with the practical aspects of
converting a landfill site. Also, the challenges faced by
municipalities and landfill operators in recovering landfill gas as
an energy source are described, and solutions are suggested for
solving them effectively. These include practical execution
problems, governmental issues, and developing policies to encourage
investment. The volume also includes various case studies of
landfill gas-to-energy utilization projects from around the world,
which can be reviewed and customized for the reader s own
application with the help of extensive reference section.
Intended as an overview text for advanced students and
researchers in the relevant engineering and technology fields
(Environmental, Civil, Geotechnical, Chemical, Mechanical and
Electrical), this book will also be particularly helpful to
practitioners such as municipal managers, landfill operators,
designers, solid waste management engineers, urban planners,
professional consultants, scientists, non-governmental
organizations and entrepreneurs.
