Abstract:

The objective of this task was to collect data on all landfills owned by the Department of Defense and to use that information to calculate gas production rates in order to determine which sites may be appropriate for the Flex Microturbine. Given the approximate nature of the source data and the gas production models, this material can only be used for a preliminary assessment, based on which more detailed site-specific study should be performed before making economic decisions. The database was designed as a preliminary screening tool.
