This article deals with the impact of water content of solid waste on biogas production
kinetics in landfills. This impact has been proved in the laboratory thanks to anaerobic …

A novel set of experimental apparatus was designed and constructed to study the changes
in the fluid-flow properties of municipal solid waste (MSW) related to the physical evolution …

Original laboratory setups are used to study the moisture retention properties of municipal
solid waste taking into account the porous medium's structural evolution from compression …

Landfill gas (LFG) wellhead data were compared to understand the range of observations
due to unique conditions at five elevated temperature landfills (ETLFs) in the US …

Successful modeling of liquid and air flow and hence designing of liquid and air addition
systems in the landfills are constrained by the lack of key parameters of unsaturated …

Bioreactor landfills, which recirculate leachate to improve moisture conditions and nutrient
distribution to accelerate waste decomposition, offer a promising solution to the limitations of …

This paper presents a model using fuzzy synthetic evaluation to estimate the methane
generation rate constant, k, for landfills. Four major parameters, precipitation, temperature …

Air intrusion into municipal solid waste landfills can cause a localized switch from anaerobic
to aerobic biodegradation adjacent to the intrusion. The purpose of this study was to explore …

The design of a gas collection system (GCS) for a landfill involves estimating several critical
parameters, such as the radius of influence (ROI), suction pressures, number of wells and …

Many landfills suffer from a sharp drop in landfill gas generation after an initial period of gas
generation. A field-scale study was conducted to investigate the effects of moisture …
