Field Procedures Handbook for the Operation of Landfill Biogas Systems

To address the need for proper start-up and operation of landfill biogas systems, the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), Working Group on Sanitary Landfill, was awarded a grant from the European Union (EU) to develop a practical handbook covering basic field procedures and practices.  The objective is to provide EU landfill managers, site operators, and field technicians with a practical reference guide that can be used on a daily basis and contribute toward efficient, safe landfill biogas operations. This handbook is not intended to replace site-specific operation and maintenance manuals. Landfill personnel should rely on such manuals and related information sources to address issues and needs appropriate to their particular facility.
