Landfill Air Addition

Although less well-developed compared to anaerobic sustainable landfilling technologies, the addition of air as an extensive or just a portion of sustainable landfilling operations provides a series of distinct potential benefits compared to anaerobic systems. The fundamental system configuration and design approaches for aerobic systems are provided, along with operation, monitoring, and control techniques. Given the unique nature and relatively limited experience with full-scale aerobic systems (compared to anaerobic), a special series of case studies from Asia, Europe, and North America are provided to provide examples of how aerobic technologies can be incorporated into sustainable landfilling operations.
