GC-MS
Monitor the area using a methane meter or explosimeter, and test samples of seepage and water run-off.
landfill
The gas is called Methane
Natural gas or methane
It creates methane that can be used to create electricity
Landfill biocover is cover that consists of compost materials or mixture of sand and compost to oxidize methane gas that releases through top surface landfill by bacteria.
it is farts. mostly methane but it would include a whole variety of volatile organics as the flesh rots.
Rubbish usually ends up in a landfill. Some local councils separate rubbish into recyclables, organics and rubbish. Recyclables are recycled, organics go into compost or a methane producer and rubbish then goes to landfill.
The methane (and other gases) released in a landfill are a result of the action of bacteria on the biological matter (thrown out food leftovers) in the landfill. Releasing the methane from landfill into the air relieves the build up of gas which otherwise could result in an explosion. Preventing the creation of methane means eliminating the biological material or the microbes, which defeats the purpose of a landfill, and would be very difficult to accomplish. To prevent the methane from being released into the air could be accomplished by determining the source of methane creation and channeling it into containers so that it can be reused as fuel.
The amount of methane produced from a manure lagoon depends on factors such as the type and amount of manure, temperature, and management practices. On average, manure lagoons can emit several thousand to tens of thousands of cubic feet of methane per day.
Methane is commonly burned at landfills. It is not siphoned; it is a byproduct of decomposing materials inside the landfill. Since methane is lighter than air, it rises from the ground. Burning it keeps the landfill safe and is a great source of energy.
If you have a list it will be something to do with collecting methane from a landfill site.
