Analysis & Results...

The Data collected from the Summerston Landfill Site when fed into the Calculator shows the following results for efficiency based on the following standards

• CAA - Higher than 100%. Check input values

• AP 42 - Higher than 100%. Check input values

• EPA - 97% efficient

The high efficiency value is a result of the reported value of the methane collected. In general, the efficiency of collection of methane is not usually so high. This is because several factors ranging from lecahate, gas migration, moisture content, waste decomposition, etc, can impact on the amount of LFG collected in landfill
