• 31^st Annual Landfill Gas Symposium 2008, Houston, Texas How Fast is Too Fast:  What is the True Maximum Counter-Current Flow Velocity?The goal of this investigation was to establish the maximum velocity that untreated LFG could travel in a pipe network that would allow condensate to drain into the condensate management system.  This paper was based on a combination of empirical data observed during testing and basic fluid mechanics.  The results of this paper have been used by Waste Management to develop its corporate Landfill Gas Collection and Control System (GCCS) Design standards

       

• 7^th International Congress on Environmental Geotechnics, Melbourne, Australia – November 10-14, 2014 Design and Installation of a Geosynthetic Final Cover Utilizing Artificial Turf In LouisianaThe goal of this paper is to compare the LFG extraction rate of a traditional gas system to the LFG extraction rate of the of a new gas system design concept called the Surficial Gas System.  This study is unique to the Tangipahoa Parish Landfill located in Independence, LA because it is the only landfill in the country that has both a traditional gas system and Surficial Gas System Design concept installed in a manner that allows for a direct comparison of collection performance.
