Over two hundred million tons of garbage are generated in the US every year. Over 97% of this garbage ends up in landfills. This garbage decomposes, potentially releasing harmful gases to the environment. Without landfill gas collection and treatment systems, the effect of these releases would be severe. This interactive, online course provides an introduction to the theory of landfill gas collection and treatment systems and presents practical parameters that can be utilized to develop detailed system designs.
