EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON THE SERVICE-LIFE OF LANDFILL LINERS AND POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL STRATEGIES

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON THE SERVICE-LIFE OF LANDFILL LINERS AND POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL STRATEGIES

Landfill facilities are required to have a barrier system that will limit escape of contaminants to groundwater and surface water for the contaminating lifespan of landfill. Heat generated by the biodegradation of waste and chemical reactions in landfills reduces the service-life of geomembranes by...
