Development and Application of a Framework to Examine the Occurrence of Hazardous Components in Discarded Construction and Demolition Debris: Case Study of Asbestos-Containing Material and Lead-Based Paint
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Regulations that dictate the management of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-based paint (LBP) debris in the United States require these materials to be managed in a specific manner at the job site to reduce ...
Air Permeability of Waste in a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The permeability of compacted municipal solid waste in a landfill with respect to air (or gas) flow was estimated using a short-term air injection test. Air was added to 134 vertical wells installed at three different ...
One-Dimensional Gas Flow Model for Horizontal Gas Collection Systems at Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Extraction of biogas from horizontal layers above, below, and within municipal solid waste landfills is becoming more commonplace. A steady-state one-dimensional analytical landfill gas model was developed to assist in the ...
Estimating the Hydraulic Conductivity of Landfilled Municipal Solid Waste Using the Borehole Permeameter Test
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the in situ field saturated hydraulic conductivity of municipal solid waste at a landfill in Florida. The saturated hydraulic conductivity
Moisture Addition Requirements for Bioreactor Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The conversion of a traditional sanitary landfill to a bioreactor landfill typically involves the addition of moisture to the landfill to create an environment that promotes anaerobic waste stabilization. The objective of ...
Isothermal Dual-Phase Flow Modeling to Assess the Impact of Gas
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Liquid addition to landfilled municipal solid waste (MSW) is a practice employed
Assessment of Municipal Solid-Waste Landfill Liner Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The leachate collection system (LCS) and leak detection system (LDS) flow rate data from 240 cells (or a combination of cells) at 54 municipal solid-waste landfills (located in seven US states) with double-liner systems ...
Case Study of Controlled Air Addition into Landfilled Municipal Solid Waste: Design, Operation, and Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The addition of air to landfilled municipal solid waste (MSW) was examined at an operating bioreactor landfill in Florida. An air-addition system was designed to provide sufficient capacity to aerobically degrade a targeted ...
