CHAPTER 3
Increasing landfill gas production and recovery
3.1 INTRODUCTION
An increase in the anaerobic decomposition rate of waste leads to a rise in landfill gas produc-
tion and faster stabilization of waste. This goal can be achieved by converting a conventional
landfill into an anaerobic bioreactor landfill. Landfill Gas (LFG), withdrawn in a controlled
manner, is used as an energy source. Consequently, carbon dioxide having a significantly
lower global warming potential than methane (ca. 21 times) is released into the atmosphere.
An anaerobic bioreactor landfill (ABL) is a variant of the bioreactor landfill concept, which
assumes optimization of the operational parameters and environmental conditions within
the waste mass in order to obtain ...
