A Comparison of Models for Predicting Landfill Methane Recovery (1998)

This report compared the output of existing landfill methane models to actual field data obtained from 18 US long-term LFG collection & recovery projects; discusses the advantages & limitations of four types of landfill methane models: a zero-order, simple first order, modified first order & multi-phase first order mode; demonstrates these four models; and provides a computer project titled Methane Gas Recovery Program (MEGAREP) to accept keyboard inputs to project methane generation over time for each of the four case study models.
