ANÁLISE DE PROCESSOS DE CAPTAÇÃO DE BIOGÁS EM ATERRO SANITÁRIO: Digestão Anaeróbia e Incineração

Abstract

The large accumulation of solid waste in urban landfills has caused great pollution in soils. The ozone layer has also been attacked due to a byproduct created from this accumulation of waste, known as methane. Reducing the environmental impact in urban centers has been a challenge in much of the country, projects such as selective collection have been implemented to soften the accumulation of discarded materials, but it is not enough. To guarantee a renewable energy source, regardless of conditions such as winds and high temperatures, and to use as main fuel something that would be discarded in a way that would cause damage to the environment would be utopia? The analysis of the biogas uptake processes studied aims to collect the largest possible percentage of the gas found in the organic matter disposed of in the landfill, and direct it with the lowest possible losses to the energy source. Improvements in the working conditions/experience of the collaborators of the collection would be one of the advantages with the implantation of the systems, because the bad odor caused by the open air accumulation of the organic matter, would diminish considerably since it will be stored under confinement regime.
