Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

What are the design goals for an engineered landfill
A recapping plant is planning to acquire a new Diesel generating set to replace its present unit which they run during brownouts. The new set would cost P135,000 with a five (5) year-life, and no estimated salvage value. Variable cost would be P150,000 a year. The present generating set has a book value of P75,000 and a remaining life of 5 years. Its disposal value now is P7,500, but it would be zero after 5 years. Variable operating cost would be P187,500 a year. Money is worth 10%. What is the Rate of return on additional investment in percentage?
Define the term “field capacity of solid waste”.
A sanitary landfill is being designed to handle solid waste generated by the town of Pietro, at a rate of 40 Mg/day. It is expected that the waste will be delivered by compactor truck on a 5 days/week basis. The density as spread is 129 kg/m3. It will be spread in 0.8 meter layers and compacted to 0.3 meters. Assuming 2 such lifts per day and a daily cover of 0.13 meters, box your answer the annual volume of landfill consumed in cubic meters. Ignore the soil volume between the stacks. Answer in two decimal value.Also In your solution Compute also the daily horizontal area covered by the solid waste.
