  3. ABSTRACT • Waste characterization parameters. • Solid waste field capacity study. • Development of laboratory methodology. • Results and interpretation. • Conclusion and recommendations.

  4. In Virginia for year 2001, 82.3% - 15,823,785 tons - was landfilled.Landfill capacity for MSW - 18.3 years

  5. Aspects of waste characterization

  6. Waste Properties

  7. Waste Properties

  8. Field Capacity • Compaction to desired density Landfills - 2000 lbs/yd3 • Compressed air – 40 psi • Dynamic compaction 500 ft-lbs • Static compaction 75- 40 lbs 3-5 days

  9. Methodology • Waste available 8-14 lbs wet • Volume fits in bucket sized 30.5 cm dia, 52 cm height • 40 psi – 1psi = 1255 lbs/yd2 • 500 ft-lbs, 1 ft from initial surface • 75-40 lbs static (775-443 lbs/yd2)

  10. Field Capacity- Compressed Air

  11. ln(S/t) = -(a + b ln t)

  12. Summary and Conclusion • Independency of final moisture on the initial moisture. • Reproducibility of method to yield the same moisture retention value (1-2 % range) for repeated runs with different initial moistures.(at 95 % ) • Field Capacity correlates with Cellulose • Hyperbolic model best fit,least variability

  13. Recommendations • Statistical validation of lab test • Calibration of Field Capacity and Hyperbolic model • Usage to best fit various landfill sites

  14. THANK YOU
