Anaerobic Composting in Bioreactor Landfills

摘要

An advanced solid waste landfill bioreactor approach termed "controlled landfilling" has been operating at progressively larger scales at a California site since startup in 1994. Important accomplishments have included (a) rapid generation and capture of renewable methane energy to full potential (b) reduction of landfill methane greenhouse emissions by 50-80% compared to conventional gas collection technology. (c) substantial early waste volume reduction, with associated potentials for high-value landfill life extension and more capacity for given landfills.
