Abstract:
Sanitary landfill remains the most common methodology for final treatment and disposal of municipal solid waste worldwide, the cost per tonne depends on its scale. The bigger the landfill, the cheaper the cost of treatment, so the consortium of municipalities is the solution to achieve an economic scale. However, the growth of waste production introduces pressure for adequate solutions and therefore has been increasing sanitary landfill site selection studies. This study proposes a methodology for siting sanitary landfills and optimising the transport of municipal solid waste for a locality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Environmental, social, and economic criteria were established. Their correlated attributes were categorised into suitability levels and weighted according to multiple decision analysis. The data were organised and mapped within a geographic information system. Considering sites where landfills are prohibited, two scenarios were generated. The Mixed-Integer Quadratic Programming mathematical model is used to minimise the costs of transporting municipal solid waste and operating sanitary landfills. In Scenario 1, the results indicated that 64% of the area was suitable as a potential sanitary landfill site, 9% of the area exhibited medium suitability, and 27% of the area was classified as restricted. In Scenario 2, the results indicated that 25% of the area was suitable as a potential sanitary landfill site, 4% of the area had medium suitability, and 71% of the area was classified as restricted. The optimal solutions for Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 enabled sites to be determined for five landfills and four landfills, respectively.

Abstract:
This study intends to identify influencing factors in the Implementation of Village Government in Sanitary Landfill Management in South Tungkal Village, North Pariaman District, Pariaman City. This research uses a semi-qualitative approach. A purposive sampling approach was used in this study to identify research informants. For data collection techniques, it is carried out with interviews and observations and documentation. For data analysis techniques using data reduction and data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results showed that there are influencing factors, namely: (1) Human resources that support the management of sanitary landfills. For human resources, the Environment Agency has 87 cleaning members consisting of drivers, stokars and 46 other members. (2) Second, a supportive commitment to the management of Sanitary Landfill. The form of commitment made provides budget and human resources to carry out the management of this Sanitary Landfill. (3) Third, community support and participation for sanitary landfill management. The community does not want to liberate land because the land has the status of customary land or customary land. (4) Fourth, the budget and tools are limited for the management of Sanitary Landfills. In Sanitary Landfill, the Environment Agency requires a budget for infrastructure and a human resources budget.

Abstract:
Poor management of dump-sites creates significant risks to environment and human health. Thus, sanitary landfills are required to be more effective to minimize the impacts of waste disposal. This research assesses the environmental economic evaluation focused on the economically efficiency of Malaysian sanitary landfills. Two landfills were selected based on their different operation. Landfill A incurred RM 128 million (USD 41.8 million) as the total cost within 20 operational period. Thus, it is estimated that the cost may be covered within 15 operational years. On the other hand, the total costs for Landfill B are estimated at RM 198 million (USD 64.8 million) with RM 245 million (USD 80.2 million) are expected to be obtained as profit within eight operational years. Landfill B has high initial costs of design and construction. However, the costs are covered within the first five years. This is because Landfill B introduces a new green technology namely landfill-gas power generator. This indicates that, Landfill B has stronger market competition ability as compared to Landfill A. It can be concluded that the implementation of green technology namely landfill gas harvesting system has higher impact to improve the economic value of a landfill thus making it more economical and environmentally sustainable.

Abstract:
It is well known that the leachates from solid domestic waste sanitary landfills are heavily polluted with organic and inorganic substances. As they are of a potential danger for the environment, their uncontrolled seepage is avoided in the modern sanitary landfills by means of suitable insulation. This is mostly made of natural materials with a low filtration coefficient. The present paper considers the results of the filtration characteristics, studying natural clayey soil model liners. The leachate contaminants distribution from the sanitary landfill in Sofia (Suhodol) is traced out in different liner depths. The mechanism of pollutant attenuation in the liners is considered. It is found that a part of the leachate components (Fe, Mn, SO42−, PO43−) stays in clayey liners. Besides, as a result of pore colmatation the permeability of the liners is decreased. It is shown that soil monoliths with a proper thickness might serve as a sufficiently safe barrier against leachate filtration in adjacent aquifers. On the base of the results obtained the thickness of the clay liners in the solid domestic waste sanitary landfills could be optimized.

Abstract:
Over the years, the generation of municipal waste in India has increased significantly. Solid waste management has become an important issue due to poor waste management practices affect public health and urban services. Municipal waste generation increases with increasing population, urbanization and industrialization. Municipal solid wastes disposal is a stinging and widespread problem in many developed and developing countries, in both urban and rural areas. Municipal waste management solutions must be economically sustainable, technically feasible, social, legally acceptable and environmentally friendly. Sanitary landfilling is popular in most countries because of the due to its relatively low cost and low technical requirements This paper mainly review on need to dispose of municipal waste, sanitary land filling method of disposal of MSW, Evaluation of the impact of landfills on the environment such leachate, land fill gases (LFG), land fill fires (LFF), strategies for effective management of sanitary landfills and sustainable measures (reduce, reuse and recycle) to minimize the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Keywords: Municipal solid waste, Sanitary landfill, leachate, land fill gases (LFG) and land fill fires (LFF).

Abstract:
Abstract The majority of developing nations still utilize landfills as their primary method of disposing of municipal solid waste (MSW), and Indonesia is no exception to this technology. On the other hand, landfill contributes a significant fraction of plastic in the global environmental leakage from mismanaged landfill and open dumping site in Asian countries. Furthermore, Indonesia has a long history of landfill mismanagement and open dumping. The loss of plastic to the environment could lead to multisectoral impacts on the health, environment, and economy. In this paper, we analyze the current situation of landfill and the potential of plastic waste leakage from landfills to the environment using systematic review and metadata analysis using GIS in Indonesia. In addition, this study analyses potential plastic leakage based on the distance to the waterways, leachate treatment facility and landfill facility. Based on the analysis, only around 11% of the landfill were claimed as sanitary landfill, yet only 3% operated based on the sanitary landfill standard of Indonesia after the analysis. The controlled landfill is also implemented in Indonesia at around 52%, and open dumping is around 37% of total final disposal. Based on the GIS analysis, more than 20% of landfill in Indonesia are near the waterways, which increase the potential for plastic leakage. Policymakers can use the resulting study to identify and prioritise ways to stop the environmental leakage of plastics from landfills.

Abstract:
The objective of this research work is to determine the relationship between the operation of solid waste in intermunicipal sanitary landfills in the province of Cañete - Lima Region, 2018. In order to propose tools for its implementation and avoid the pollution that has been causing in the different districts of the province. The quantitative approach, non-experimental design, correlational type, was used through the survey technique and as an instrument the questionnaire, a population of 120 people, 20 per district of Cerro Azul, Nuevo Imperial and Quilmana. In the result there is no significant correlation between the sanitary landfill variable and solid waste, since the significance 0.05 is less than 0.59, therefore it is not significant and the correlation coefficient Pearson (r=,050) indicates that there is a moderate relationship between both variables. The moderate existence between the variables sanitary landfill and intermunicipal solid waste of the province of Cañete 2018 is concluded, it reflects the little interest in propitiating changes of behavior between authorities of the different districts focused on the investigation, provoking the vulnerability due to the lack of formal and sustainable sanitary landfills

Abstract:
Large quantities of solid municipal waste containing a variety of flammable substances, that are disposed of in sanitary and non-sanitary landfills and even illegal dump sites, usually entail a high risk of fire. The level of risk is increased by the presence of methane which is released by municipal waste decomposition. The number of landfill fires varies depending on the morphological composition of the waste, ignition sources, meteorological conditions, time of year, as well as fire protection measures. The paper describes the impact of flammable waste on landfill fires, as well as causes, frequency and procedures in preventing and extinguishing landfill fires.

Abstract:
Approximately 95% of urban solid waste worldwide is disposed of in landfills. About 14 million metric tonnes of this municipal solid waste are disposed of in landfills every year in Malaysia, illustrating the importance of landfills. Landfill leachate is a liquid that is generated when precipitation percolates through waste disposed of in a landfill. High concentrations of heavy metal(loid)s, organic matter that has been dissolved and/or suspended, and inorganic substances, including phosphorus, ammonium, and sulphate, are present in landfill leachate. Globally, there is an urgent need for efficient remediation strategies for leachate-metal-contaminated soils. The present study expatiates on the physicochemical conditions and heavy metal(loid)s’ concentrations present in leachate samples obtained from four landfills in Malaysia, namely, Air Hitam Sanitary Landfill, Jeram Sanitary landfill, Bukit Beruntung landfill, and Taman Beringin Landfill, and explores bioaugmentation for the remediation of leachate-metal-contaminated soil. Leachate samples (replicates) were taken from all four landfills. Heavy metal(loids) in the collected leachate samples were quantified using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The microbial strains used for bioaugmentation were isolated from the soil sample collected from Taman Beringin Landfill. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was used to analyze heavy metal(loid)s in the soil, prior to the isolation of microbes. The results of the present study show that the treatments inoculated with the isolated bacteria had greater potential for bioremediation than the control experiment. Of the nine isolated microbial strains, the treatment regimen involving only three strains (all Gram-positive bacteria) exhibited the highest removal efficiency for heavy metal(loid)s, as observed from most of the results. With regard to new findings, a significant outcome from the present study is that selectively blended microbial species are more effective in the remediation of leachate-metal-contaminated soil, in comparison to a treatment containing a higher number of microbial species and therefore increased diversity. Although the leachate and soil samples were collected from Malaysia, there is a global appeal for the bioremediation strategy applied in this study.

Abstract:
Despite initiatives for enhanced recycling and waste utilization, landfill still represents the dominant disposal path for municipal solid waste (MSW). The environmental impacts of landfills depend on several factors, including waste composition, technical barriers, landfill operation and climatic conditions. A profound evaluation of all factors and their impact is necessary in order to evaluate the environmental hazards emanating from landfills. The present paper investigates a sanitary landfill located in a semi-arid climate (Tunisia) and highlights major differences in quantitative and qualitative leachate characteristics compared to landfills situated in moderate climates. Besides the qualitative analysis of leachate samples, a quantitative analysis including the simulation of leachate generation (using the HELP model) has been conducted. The results of the analysis indicate a high load of salts (Cl, Na, inorganic nitrogen) in the leachate compared to other landfills. Furthermore the simulations with HELP model highlight that a major part of the leachate generated originates form the water content of waste.

Abstract:
Waste management in the United States presently has the following major three dimensions: Sanitary landfills, recycling, waste to energy predominantly based on the technologies of mass bum technology or refuse derived fuel. These three dimensions have undergone significant evolution during the past three decades. The design of sanitary landfills has evolved to include environmental protection features such as bottom liners, leachate collection systems and landfill gas management systems. Material recycling programs, many based on materials recycling facilities, have become more prevalent. Approximately 100 operating waste to energy facilities (“Facilities”) now exist in the United States. Improvements in the air pollution control systems incorporated in the Facilities have significantly lowered their air emissions. A fourth dimension, waste gasification technology, is evolving as a viable component of a waste management system and the hydrogen energy economy.

Abstract:
Rapid economic development and also population growth of urban centers in developing island nations have resulted in the generation of large amounts of MSW that in the past were dumped at uninhabited areas indiscriminately. Also, islands have very limited space for new, sanitary landfills. This study examines islands where WTE has been implemented successfully (Bermuda, Martinique, St. Barth) and several others (Jamaica, Mauritius, Rhodes) where WTE has been considered and is in various stages of implementation. The study showed that the per capita generation of MSW increases as GDP per capita increases. Also, it is usually recommended that the waste management system be improved one step at a time, that is, to go from dumps to sanitary landfills, to waste to energy; it is interesting to note that the three islands examined in this study went directly from dumps to WTE. This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the scarcity of land for new landfills, but may also be due to the desire to develop a local and renewable energy source.

These fuels include liquid petroleum gas, medium-Btu fuels derived from biodegradation of organic matters found in sanitary landfills and liquid sewage, and ultra-low Btu fuels from oilfield fireflood operations. The analyses, mathematical modelling and rig verification performed in the development are discussed. The effects of burning these alternate fuels on the gas turbine and its combustion system are compared to those of using standard natural gas fuel. Gas turbine development required to use other alternative gaseous fuels is also assessed.

Abstract:
Waste management in Brazil is guided by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) (IBAMA, 2022). The PNRS foresees the elimination of landfills and the disposal of urban solid waste (MSW) in landfills only when there is no potential for reuse, including recycling and reverse logistics (BONJARDIM; PEREIRA; GUARDABASSIO, 2018, p. 315). Organic solid waste (RS) can be transformed into fertilizers (ARAÚJO; CERQUEIRA; CARNEIRO, 2020), and inadequate disposal can cause sanitary and environmental problems (HECK et al., 2013). MSW is classified by Law No. 12,305/2010 (BRASIL, 2010) into household waste (RDO) and public waste (RPU). In this study, RS was classified as wet solid household waste (RSDU) and UPR, according to SNIS (2022). Composting, a natural process of degradation of organic matter, is currently used to manage organic RS, using techniques to accelerate decomposition and produce organic compounds of social interest (CRIVELARO; MOREIRA; DA SILVA, 2018, p. 91). This study hypothesized that the implementation of a composting yard at the University of Sorocaba is viable, both technically and economically, to manage part of the RS generated at the Campus Cidade Universitária Prof. Aldo Vannucchi. The objective was to develop an operational pilot project for an organic RS composting yard for the university, identifying sources of organic RS (RSDU and RPU), adapting a methodology for composting, determining performance indicators and carrying out a cost analysis of the project.

Abstract:
Development of a combustion system at the author’s Company was carried out at atmospheric pressure to achieve successful operation of a 5500-hp (Type H) gas turbine on gaseous fuels covering a wide range of Wobbe Index (WI) values from 48.04 MJ/nm3 (1220 Btu/scf) for natural gas to 18.90 MJ/nm3 (480 Btu/scf) for natural gas and carbon dioxide mixtures. Mixtures with the latter composition have direct applications for gas turbine engines burning fuels derived from sanitary landfills and liquid sewage. Wide-range operational capability offers the flexibility to fire gas turbines with either pipeline quality natural gas or medium-heating-value fuel, depending on availability. For such applications, if a fuel injector is designed to operate satisfactorily on natural gas fuel, it will have unacceptably high pressure drops when operating on fuels with WI values towards the lower end of the range. On the other hand, if the fuel injector is designed to operate properly on fuels with WI values on the lower end of the range, it will have unacceptably low pressure drops when operating on fuels with WI values towards the higher end of the range, which causes combustion-driven pressure oscillation feedback into the fuel-injection system. This feedback usually increases the amplitude of combustion-driven pressure oscillation and can cause significant damage to the gas turbine in a relatively short time. This paper describes the design and development work carried out to resolve these problems.
