In low carbon waste landfills the availability of water or a carbon source, or the build up of toxic compounds appears to limit anaerobic gas generation. Thus oxygen consuming chemical/biological reactions occur immediately after the waste is placed, but factors required for anaerobic degradation become exhausted, perhaps because of limited …

ISSeP has been controlling for ten years the gaseous and liquid emissions of main landfills in Wallonia. The monitoring of landfill surface gas-emissions is usually performed with portable FID analysers. Such devices offer high sensitiveness but measuring ranges are sometimes too short for high methane concentration. It is why another …
