Abstract:Modern landfills are often thought of as exclusively anaerobic systems, with landfill gas generation and regulatory emission models typically describing waste degradation as a first order decay process.However, in most instances, observed biogas production from landfills fall short of predictions by these landfill gas models. To improve biogas estimates, a closer examination of the configuration and operation of landfills is required, to identify if a significant portion of waste is degraded aerobically.An imp… Show more
