Continuous Monitoring Of Gaseous Emissions At Municipal Landfill

A landfill gas extraction well, situated at the closed section of municipal landfill, was continuously monitored for a four years period (2016-2020). The landfill gas production rate was measured, together with the methane content, atmospheric pressure and sampled gas temperature. The collected data clearly confirmed that the monitored landfill section was in a stabilized state, since practically no gas was passing through the well. The continuous monitoring system was found to be a useful tool for landfill control in the period of postclosure care.
