Modelling processes in generation of leachate and biogas in solid waste dump

Creators

  • 1. Technical University, Sofia (Bulgaria)

Description

An alternative method is presented which couples a simplified model of waste degradation with a stochastic hydrological and contaminant transport model through the use of travel time distributions. This allows the complex effects of spatial heterogeneity within the landfill to be represented, along with other key variables such as moisture flow, waste composition and microbial activity. Illustrative examples o( the model's output are presented to demonstrate the effects of heterogeneity on leachate and gas generation
