Landfill gas treatment
Proven and innovative technologies for treating landfill gas
Uncontrolled release of landfill gas can pose significant environmental and safety risks. Controlled collection and treatment significantly reduce these risks. The obligation to capture and treat landfill gas stems from various regulations, such as the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG), the Landfill Ordinance (DepV), and the Federal Uniform Quality Standard (BQS 10-1 “Landfill Gas”).
How is landfill gas produced?
Landfill gas is a complex mixture of gases produced during the microbial decomposition of organic matter under anaerobic conditions in landfills. Its main components are methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). In the absence of oxygen, specialized microorganisms convert complex organic matter into methane and carbon dioxide.
Relevance and Challenges
The treatment of landfill gas presents a major technical and regulatory challenge for operators. Methane, as the primary component, has a high global warming potential and is subject to strict emission limits, making efficient capture and treatment essential. In addition to their environmental responsibilities, operators must also minimize safety risks such as the danger of explosions and uncontrolled gas emissions. To help address these challenges, we provide support including:
