Assessment of potential and modelling of gas generation at MSW landfills in Ukraine
Objective: quantitive assessment of biogas collection at MSW landfills
Activities: short-term and long term pump tests
Short-term pump test at MSW landfill of Chernivtsi city
Place of implementation: MSW landfill of Chernivtsi city, Ukraine
Execution period: 07/2007
Main parameters of test LFG collection system
| Number of wells: | 3 |
| Average LFG flow rate: | 40 m3/h |
| Average CH4 content in LFG: | 40.0% |
Utilization of LFG: combustion in a flaring stack
Main results of modelling
| Average LFG flow rate for 2010?2012: | 600-750 m3/h |
| GHG emission reductions into the atmosphere for 2010?2012: | 50 th. t СО2-eq/yr |
