Criteria for Choosing a Set of Technical Measures to Reduce Emissions on Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

Abstract

The analysis of technical measures allowing to control the municipal solid waste disposal (MSW) landfill with the purpose of emission reduction at different stages of the life cycle is presented. The review of the latest research in the field of implementation of technical measures at the operational and aftercare period is conducted: controlled water infiltration, collection of biogas, aeration of the landfill body, installation of methane oxidation cover systems. It is substantiated that the choice of a technical measure for management of the disposal for MSW landfill should be carried out taking into account the ultimate goal: reduction of biogas and leachate emissions, acceleration of waste decomposition processes, reduction of the impact of the landfill on environmental objects at the aftercare period. Criteria for choosing technical measures for reduction biogas and leachate emissions, boundary conditions and peculiarities of their implementation at different stages of the life cycle of the landfill have been established.
