Teised raamatud teemal:
Converting old landfills to energy producing sites, while capturing emitted greenhouse gases, has faced numerous technical, financial and social challenges and developments lately. Also, the re-mining of landfills to recover useful land in dense urban areas and proper landfill closure has been a subject of discussion and investigation. Designed as an overview text for landfill management from cradle to grave, this volumes content stretches from the fundamentals to the rather indepth details. By putting down their joint international experience, the authors have intended to both guide and inspire the user for his or her landfill project.

Introducing the fundamental concepts of landfill gas management and its needs and importance in the present world energy scenario, this accessible reference volume presents key landfill gas management techniques at regional, national and global levels. In detail, it gives an account of the recent technologies available for landfill gas treatment and its utilization. It summarizes landfill gas prediction models developed in various parts of the world and details their adequacy in various field conditions. Covering both landfill remediation aspects and economic considerations while selecting a landfill gas to energy utilization project, the reader gets familiar with the practical aspects of converting a landfill site. Also, the challenges faced by municipalities and landfill operators in recovering landfill gas as an energy source are described, and solutions are suggested for solving them effectively. These include practical execution problems, governmental issues, and developing policies to encourage investment. The volume also includes various case studies of landfill gas-to-energy utilization projects from around the world, which can be reviewed and customized for the readers own application with the help of extensive reference section.

Intended as an overview text for advanced students and researchers in the relevant engineering and technology fields (Environmental, Civil, Geotechnical, Chemical, Mechanical and Electrical), this book will also be particularly helpful to practitioners such as municipal managers, landfill operators, designers, solid waste management engineers, urban planners, professional consultants, scientists, non-governmental organizations and entrepreneurs.

Arvustused

As a professional in the field of landfill and landfill gas operation and design, I am very impressed by both the depth and the accuracy of the information presented in this new text. The book achieves the balance of being detailed enough to service the experienced professional in the field while also presenting the materials in a manner that allows a novice reader to find and understand issues that they may encounter. It represents a comprehensive study of the Landfill Gas to Energy Field and the authors have done an excellent job of including the most up to date developments in the field. The various technologies and economics of the energy field are all accurately covered as well. Beyond the scope of the study, the text is also well organized, very well written and expertly illustrated. Besides being a useful resource book, it allows for easy reading and a quick way to learn about the field. With the potential to be the premier reference text in the field of landfill gas to energy for the years to come, it should be on the shelf of every professional working in this field. David S. O'Neill, Environmental Attorney, Principal of LandGas Technology LLC, Chicago, USA
