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

本研究的目的是确定垃圾填埋场的热和气体制度，并建立在垃圾填埋场的测量参数和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合作伙伴之间的合作。 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之前已经进行了仪器化，计划包括在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的另一个填埋场进行仪器化。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质量，衬里系统，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。 将开发填埋副产品（热量、气体和渗滤液生成）与操作和环境条件之间的综合相关性。 这些相互关系将提供工具，以改善国家的最先进的和国家的做法，废物处理和遏制在填埋场

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
