A review of anaerobic landfill bioreactor using leachate recirculation to increase methane gas recovery

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) treatment with anaerobic landfill bioreactor utilizes landfill as a place of biodegradation and produces methane gas which can be used as renewable alternative energy source. Anaerobic landfill bioreactor technology is a landfill development method that can increase waste degradation and increase biogas production. The increase of biogas and the removal of pollutants from leachate needs to pay attention to the factors that influence the success of anaerobic landfill bioreactor, including pH value, temperature, water content, and COD concentration after recirculation, and methane production. The relationship between these factors was discussed in depth in this paper. The method used is a narrative review where metadata is obtained from Google Scholar and Web of Science. This study explains the development of an anaerobic landfill bioreactor and conducts a synthesis for future research development plans by leachate recirculation.
