APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY FOR LANDFILL METHANE GAS EXTRACTION FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND EMISSION REDUCTION
ABSTRACT: Landfill Supit Urang
Malang has Amount of potential waste to produce Methane gas. Approriate
technology for methane extraction is needed because the only available
equipments is backhoe excavator. Flaring Equipment with monitoring system is
needed to get the characteristics of methane gas production. Design of
equipments and installation of extraction pipe is based on pipe Pahl &
Beitz method. Backhoe Excavator which was used on trial to install the
extraction pipe, was less strong to depress the extraction pipe. Pile hammer is
then recommended for extraction pipe installation because its ability to install
on 700 kg/cm2 tension of soil but waste only has 200kg/cm2. Methane Gas
production is few at night until morning, than increase in morning (about 7
clock) and in the highest production at about 2 clock at noon, with 47 till 55
% of Methane concentration. Produce methane decrease, and go down drastic start
at 5 evening, it makes the flaring stop.
