Book Bioreactor Landfill Research and Demonstration Project Northern Oaks Landfill  Harrison  MI

Download or read book Bioreactor Landfill Research and Demonstration Project Northern Oaks Landfill Harrison MI written by Xiando Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bioreactor landfill cell with 1.2-acre footprint was constructed, filled, operated, and monitored atNorthern Oaks Recycling and Disposal Facility (NORDF) at Harrison, MI. With a filled volume of74,239 cubic yards, the cell contained approximately 35,317 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) and20,777 tons of cover soil. It was laid on the slope of an existing cell but separated by a geosyntheticmembrane liner. After the cell reached a design height of 60 feet, it was covered with a geosyntheticmembrane cap. A three-dimensional monitoring system to collect data at 48 different locations wasdesigned and installed during the construction phase of the bioreactor cell. Each location had a cluster of monitoring devices consisting of a probe to monitor moisture and temperature, a leachate collection basin, and a gas sampling port. An increase in moisture content of the MSW in the bioreactor cell was achieved by pumping leachatecollected on-site from various other cells, as well as recirculation of leachate from the bioreactor landfillcell itself. Three types of leachate injection systems were evaluated in this bioreactor cell for theirefficacy to distribute pumped leachate uniformly: a leachate injection pipe buried in a 6-ft wide horizontalstone mound, a 15-ft wide geocomposite drainage layer, and a 60-ft wide geocomposite drainage layer. All leachate injection systems were installed on top of the compacted waste surface. The distribution ofwater and resulting MSW moisture content throughout the bioreactor cell was found to be similar for thethree designs. Water coming into and leaving the cell (leachate pumped in, precipitation, snow, evaporation, and collected leachate) was monitored in order to carry out a water balance. Using a leachate injection rate of 26 - 30 gal/yard3, the average moisture content increased from 25% to 35% (wet based) over the period of this study. One of the key aspects of this bioreactor landfill study was to evaluate bioreactor start up andperformance in locations with colder climate. For lifts filled during the summer months, methanegeneration started within three months after completion of the lift. For lifts filled in winter months, verylittle methane production occurred even eight months after filling. The temperature data indicated thatsubzero or slightly above zero (oC) temperatures persisted for unusually long periods (more than sixmonths) in the lifts filled during winter months. This was likely due to the high thermal insulationcapability of the MSW and the low level of biological activity during start up. This observation indicatesthat bioreactor landfills located in cold climate and filled during winter months may require mechanismsto increase temperature and initiate biodegradation. Thus, besides moisture, temperature may be the next important factor controlling the biological decomposition in anaerobic bioreactor landfills. Spatial and temporal characterization of leachate samples indicated the presence of low levels ofcommonly used volatile organic compounds (including acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutylketone, and toluene) and metals (including arsenic, chromium, and zinc). Changes and leachate andgaseous sample characteristics correlated with enhanced biological activity and increase in temperature. Continued monitoring of this bioreactor landfill cell is expected to yield critical data needed for start up, design, and operation of this emerging process.
