Estimate the life of a landfill for a user population of 10,000. The available area for the are-type landfill is 10 acres. The water table is estimated at 6.1m(20ft) below the ground surface. The pit must have side slope of 1:3 and the final surface must have a slope of 1:4. Assume that soil (used as daily cover) occupies 20% of the compacted volume of waste
List the 5 critical elements of a municipal landfill based on many current State requirements.
1. A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
A leachate collection system is being designed for a 10 acre landfill. If the drainage rate through the waste to be collected in the perforated pipe is 1.5 inches/day, determine the expected leachate from the landfill in ft3 /s.
A landfill with a capacity of 11.3 x 10-6 which 63% of landfill being used about 100 kilometers from metropolis provides a help for the population of 562 500 that generates 1.9 kg per capita waste.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING a). List and describe the main features of the In-vessel Anaerobic Digestion Process for a small pig farm and provide 3 advantages/disadvantages each, of Biodigesters. b). List the typical constraints of a common Landfill and outline the required features of a Sanitary Landfill that is designed to overcome most of the constraints of a common Landfill. c). Estimate the landfill area need to handle one year’s Municipal Solid Waste for a town of 20,000 people, if the per capita national average discard is 3kgs per day, there is no combustion, with a landfill density of 1,000kg/cu.m., and one 4m lift per year. Assume 20 percent of the cell volume is soil used as cover.
A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 hectares at an average depth of 10 m. 765 m3 of solid waste are dumped daily at the landfill 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
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.
The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 400 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5% diversion for composting and 500 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 425 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 1500 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 38% Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length:width:depth = 5:4:7. QUESTION 2. Estimate the theoretical amount of slow decomposable solid waste (C20H29O9N) required to produce 65 m3of methane (CH4) using the equation below. Assume a 75% conversion and the density of methane is 0.7167 kg/m3. Use the equation below C20 H 29 O9 N + 9H20 = 11CH4 + 9H20 + NH3 C = 12, N = 14, H =1, O = 16 QUESTION 3.
