SGER: Collaborative Research: Analysis of Landfill Temperatures and Gas Levels

这项研究的目的是确定垃圾填埋场的热和气体状态，并建立测量参数与垃圾填埋场的操作和环境条件之间的相关性。它涉及韦恩州立大学和劳伦斯理工大学以及各种工业伙伴之间的合作。位于密歇根州、新墨西哥州和阿拉斯加州的三个垃圾填埋场此前已经进行了仪器检测，并计划在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的另一个地点进行仪器检测。该项目有三个组成部分：监测现有传感器、安装额外的传感器和分析数据。温度和气体数据收集在废物堆，衬管系统和周围的土壤。这些数据将用于生成一个广泛的数据库，供研究人员和从业人员使用。将发展堆填区的副产品（热、气和渗滤液的产生）与操作和环境条件之间的全面相关性。这些相互关系将为改进垃圾填埋场处置和遏制废物的最先进和最先进的做法提供工具

The objective of this research is to determine thermal and gas regimes of landfills and to establish correlations between the measured parameters and operational and environmental conditions at landfills. It involves collaboration between Wayne State University and Lawrence Technological University, and various industrial partners. Three landfills, located in Michigan, New Mexico, and Alaska, have previously been instrumented and plans include instrumenting an additional site located in British Columbia, Canada.The project has three components: monitoring existing sensors, installing additional sensors, and analyzing data. Temperature and gas data are collected in the waste mass, liner systems, and the surrounding soils. This data will be used to generate an extensive database for use by researchers and practitioners. Comprehensive correlations between landfill byproducts (heat, gas, and leachate generation) and operational and environmental conditions will be developed. These correlations will provide tools for improving the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of waste disposal and containment in landfills
