Landfill gas, canola and biodiesel: working towards a sustainable system
Snohomish County in western Washington State began converting its vehicle fleet to a blend of biodiesel in 2005. As prices for biodiesel rose due to increased demand for this cleaner-burning fuel, Snohomish County looked to its farmers to “grow” this fuel locally. Suitable oil seed crops for biodiesel feedstock include canola, mustard and camelina. The residue, or meal, has high value ...

Do not overlook your business’ intellectual assets
Intellectual property (IP) plays a vital role in all industries, from manufacturing processes to commercial products, phones to pharmaceuticals and everything in between. And the waste management field is no exception—especially as more environmentally-friendly and more efficient means of waste disposal are invented. In almost every business—even those that are thought of as ...

Estimates of CO2 emissions reduction and potential power generation from biogas at Mare Chicose landfill
In this study, the annual generation of Landfill Gas (LFG) and methane using the Scholl-Canyon model have been predicted for 1998-2030 for five scenarios of landfill management at the Mare Chicose landfill in Mauritius. Using the Approved Large-Scale Methodology AM003 and Approved Baseline Methodology AM0010 of the Approved Methodologies for CDM activities, the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ...

Using biogas for combined heat and power
An integral part of the majority of anaerobic digestion facilities across the world is the CHP combined heat and power (CHP) engine. For the first time builder of a biogas plant, it is often neglected as the focus is on reducing the capital costs of the installation. However, the engine is integral to the plant, and is the key component in the production of renewable electricity, hence the ...

Santa Clara converts low concentration landfill gas to clean energy
Landfills are an excellent source of methane-rich gas that can be used to generate renewable power. Methane is produced at a landfill as trash decomposes and can be used as fuel for a gas generator to produce electricity. Since 1986, the City of Santa Clara had successfully done this, and had been able to export power to a local utility. However, over time, gas production at a closed landfill ...

What is Incineration?
What is incineration? “Everything you ever wanted to know, but never dared to ask!” In its most basic form, it is the destruction of something, especially waste material, by burning. Incineration is a thermo-decomposition process where the components present in the waste stream are ionized into harmless elements at a higher temperature in the presence of oxygen. This process is one ...

Advantages Of Tire To Oil Pyrolysis Plant Technology
Waste tires are one of the biggest global contributors to air pollution and water pollution. People incinerate scrap tires because these people have a high heat index, but burning rubber contributes to lots of atmospheric pollutants. While tires contain more carbon than many fossil fuels, that doesn't make burning them best for the planet. Populations will also be sending increasing quantities of ...

Recycling Vs. Landfills and Incinerators – Do Benefits of One Outweigh the Other?
Believing the 2011 survey results of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the American nationals generate more than 240 million tons of waste every year. Often referred to as Municipal Solid Waste, this waste originates from households, schools, hospitals, and business establishments. This trash material often finds its place in the wasteland, where it is either recycled, trapped in a ...
