Question

Design a solid waste landfill that will maximize the amount of methane gas produced. In depth explanation of parts please!

Answer 1

● For designing a solid waste landfill such that it will maximize the methane gas production one should use a method in which Instead of escaping the methane into the air, it can be captured, converted, and used as a renewable energy resource.

By using this method helps it will reduce odors and hazards associated with foul gases and flammable gases emissions, and prevents various gases from migrating into the atmosphere and contributing to local smog and global climate change.

In addition, Land fill gas energy projects generate revenue and jobs in the community.

●

As in the above given figure the whole method is shown and it consist of three stages;-

1) Collection stage:- In this stage various gases like mainly methane is collected from land fills by pipe systems.

2) Processing:- In this stage the methane gas is saparated from other gases and purification is done.

3) Methane use:- This is the stage in which the methane is use in various places like in industries, fuel and for producing electricity.

Thank you.
