Solid Waste Management and Design of a Sanitary Landfill for Sohar Area

Abstract

Uncontrolled waste disposals are considered as a huge risk to environment human's and animal's health. Moreover, with the constant increasing in population; a source of energy is required for several demands; such as the electricity and cooking demands. Sanitary landfills are considered as the dominant option for municipal solid waste disposal due to its sophisticated containment systems, environmental monitoring, improved operational practices and increased regulation. The research has numerous targets; forming a potential methane emission table in Sohar for cattle's dang, and a mix of Human's waste with cattle's dang based on Sohar climate. Usage of an Engineered Bioreactor Landfill to simulate a Sanitary Landfill of a three years' lifetime that`s suitable for Sohar area based on the population and Waste per Capita. Usage of a Bioreactor Landfill to cover the farm or housing unit's demands regarding the required energy for cooking or electricity. Applying an innovative method to simulate a Sanitary Landfill in 100 gallons' tanks, using the Flux Chamber method and the First Order Decay (FOD) model. Finally, analyzing of the effective parameters regarding the emission calculations using a handmade device and comparing the results with high-tech and worth devices.
