Abstract

A laboratory experiment was conducted to examine methane gas production from landfills under saturated moisture conditions. A landfill model was constructed from a 4-m PVC cylinder of 20 cm internal diameter, to simulate municipal landfill cells of 2.5 m thickness on sandy soils. The same soil was used as the cover material. The landfill was operated over a period of 30 months, for the first 24 months without leachate mobilization and the last 6 months with leachate mobilization.
