Abstract
The objective of the project was to determine how much methane gas can be withdrawn from a shallow sanitary landfill at a suitable quality and quantity to make it economically feasible for commercial use. The site of the sanitary landfill is Shoreline Regional Park in the City of Mountain View, California. The typical depth of the landfill is 40 feet. This report investigates the viability of producing methane gas from a shallow sanitary landfill. By measuring the landfill gas composition, gas withdrawal rates, decomposition temperature, pH, and the pressures within the refuse, this project attempted to provide the composition and quality of the landfill gas, optimum gas withdrawal, well spacing and gas withdrawal rates, potential gas production rate, and the affect of varying the water moisture content of the refuse on the gas production.
