| Summary: | Potential opportunities for electric power generation from landfill gas (LFG)
utilization were estimated for the second largest landfill site in Bulgaria,
situated near the city of Plovdiv. The work performed was based on detailed
analysis of experimentally obtained and model-predicted features of the
“Tsalapitsa” landfill site. The study presents a short description of the
site, the global characteristics of the disposed municipal solid waste, and
the experimentally obtained methane composition of the LFG. Based on the
above described observations, the potential for LFG recovery at “Tsalapitsa”
was determined, together with that for electric power generation for the
next 25 years. A set of recommendations was then developed regarding the
parameters required for the installation of electric power generation from
LFG in Plovdiv. |
