BIOGÁS: o aproveitamento enérgico do gás metano gerado em aterros sanitários

Abstract

This work has the purpose of analyzing the implantation of a biogas collection system in landfills for power generation, as one of the alternatives for the reduction of the impacts generated by the urban solid waste that are discarded in an inadequate way. Also, will be studied the feasibility of using the Percolation Evaporator EVC-1,900 from the company BTS. An equipment that is considered innovative, because when this product was imported to Brazil it used as LPG fuel and did not perform well with Brazilian leachate, but after going through optimizations the equipment was designed within the parameters of the leachate and the evaporator works through the direct burning of the biogas. This theme directly addresses the need to reduce the problems generated by the inadequate disposal of urban solid waste. So the search for new alternatives that minimize the effects caused by solid waste in the soil, water and atmosphere as the increase of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, this capture of biogas in landfills will significantly reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. greenhouse gases such as methane in the atmosphere. The aim of the research is to analyze and evaluate the viability of implementing a biogas recovery system and to study the feasibility of using the BTS company EVC-1.900 Percolation Evaporator in landfills, through a bibliographical research.
