| description abstract | A side by side comparison of two 8,000 metric ton test cells was performed to evaluate the effects of leachate recirculation on refuse decomposition at Yolo County, CA. After about 3 years of operation, refuse was excavated in three borings from the enhanced cell (E1, E2, and E3) and two borings from the control cell (C1 and C2). Refuse moisture content data show that leachate recirculation resulted in an increase in refuse moisture content, but also show that the refuse in the enhanced cell was not uniformly wet. The average moisture content in E1, E2, and E3 was 38.8, 31.7, and 34.8%, respectively, while the average moisture content in C1 and C2 was 14.6 and 19.2%, respectively. Leachate recirculation resulted in both higher methane yields, (63.1 versus 27.9 L | |
