2 ISSUES -- FREQUENT LIMITATIONS WITH LANDFILL GAS RECOVERY: 1. Inefficiencies of collection, and problems with air entrainment, and maintaining constant methane content in extracted gas 2. Conventional landfills decompose very slowly over decades and may decompose incompletely (the infamous dry tomb ) 3. Fugitive methane emissions and losses in early stages of filling when extraction is often inconvenient, inefficient (or absent) 4. Tedious and slow iterations of monitoring/adjustment/control when basing such control on "typical" indicators like wellhead gas composition 5. Predicting most effective designs for gas recovery 6. Predicting and assessing methane recoverability at a given site, where misses in predictions lead to performance shortfalls relative to expectations THERE IS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT!!
3 Fig. 1 Simplified schematic section of conventional LFG well and gas flow Cover layers Cover layers More landfill extends on WASTE WASTE More landfill-- -extends on well Base layers Arrows and lengths denote gas flows or fluxes.. Note variable surface fluxes and emissions distant from well, entrainment near well, inefficient collection

5 SHELDON ARLETA LANDFILL RELATIVE SURFACE FLUX
6 REPORTED RECOVERY EFFICIENCIES 1. SPOKAS et al THREE LANDFILLS < 10% methane emitted (excellent) 2. BORJESSON et al measurements summarized Emissions generally 30-60% of CH4 generated 3. USEPA Default 75% (estimate) BUT MEASUREMENTS ARE DIFFICULT AND: Point in time measurements do not cover (a) early emissions of methane during filling, or (b) at long terms. Long term generation can be significant at k = 0.04 year -1, over 30% of methane generated from waste 30 years or more after placement Capture of methane at long terms can be difficult inefficiencies increase due to diffusion and other factors. WHEN METHANE GENERATION FROM BEGINNING TO END OF FILLING IS CONSIDERED, COLLECTION AT MOST SITES LIKELY 60-85%. HOW MIGHT EFFICIENCY BE INCREASED?
7 IMPROVING CAPTURE WITH CONVENTIONAL APPROACHES: 1. THICKER COVER > 5ft clay (cost) 2. OVERPULL EXTRACT AT % GENERATION (air entrainment and energy use problems) 3. MORE AND CLOSER EXTRACTION WELLS 4. MORE INTENSIVE AND FREQUENT MONITORING 5. FIX COVER CRACKS Conventional approaches can give diminishing returns
8 Controlled Landfill-- minimize greenhouse emissions, maximize lfg energy FILL QUICKLY, MINIMIZE LFG LOSSES COVER WITH CONDUCTIVE GAS RECOVERY LAYER --- THEN POLYMER COVER (GEOMEMBRANE). LOW PERMEABILITY CLAY CAN ALSO BE USED. ONLY THEN ENHANCE METHANE GENERATION BY LIQUID: --COMPLETE LFG GENERATION SOONER --AVOID LONG TERM COLLECTION DIFFICULTIES, DIFFUSIONAL LOSSES, WITH LONG-TERM LOW- RATE LFG GENERATION. CONTROL AIR INTRUSION -- ALSO HELPS MAXIMIZE GENERATION AND RECOVERY

13 CONTROLLED LANDFILL --OFFERS A NUMBER OF ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL LANDFILL GAS RECOVERY. HOWEVER CAN BE DEMANDING OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, OPERATIONAL CARE, AND INFRASTRUCTURE. ON TOP OF THAT, GEOMEMBRANE COVER IS EXPENSIVE.
14 IMPROVING LFG RECOVERY VIA PERMEABLE LAYERS SHRED TIRES AND/OR RUBBLE OR WOOD CHIPS CONDUCTIVITIES FOR LFG FROM 10 3 TO 10 6 (I.E. THOUSAND TO MILLION FOLD) GREATER THAN SURROUNDING WASTE OR SOIL. THESE WIDELY AND ECONOMICALLY AVAILABLE FOR INCORPORATION INTO LANDFILLS. PERMEABLE (HIGHLY GAS CONDUCTIVE) LAYERS OF SUCH MATERIAL CAN BE EMPLACED DURING FILLING SLIGHTLY BELOW THE LANDFILL SURFACE LFG CAN BE CAPTURED EFFICIENTLY AND GO WHERE WE (LFGTE OPERATORS) WANT
