Sanitary Landfill Design for Avadi

The document summarizes the design of a sanitary landfill for the Avadi Municipality over a 20-year period. It forecasts future population growth and estimates total solid waste generation. The landfill design includes a leachate management system with a double composite liner to reduce groundwater contamination. Leachate will be collected through pipes and treated. The landfill will also capture methane gas produced, which can be used to generate electricity.

ABSTRACT: Management of municipal solid waste is a major challenge these days for the administrators, engineers and
planners. Huge volumes of solid waste are generated and need to be collected, transported and finally disposed off.
These operations have to be carried out speedily and efficiently without incurring excessive cost or damage to
environment. The generation of solid waste in our country is being collected in various forms and the volume of waste is
minimized and finally it sent to the dumping site. In municipal solid waste management the process involved in disposal
of waste is composting, incineration and land filling. In the present study, the proposed design of sanitary landfill for the
Avadi Municipality has been done. The design of sanitary landfill is carried out by forecasting the future population,
estimating the total solid waste, providing the leachate management system, liner system and final cover for the design
period of 20 years. The problem that most commonly occurred in landfill was ground water contamination, evolution of
foul gases, breeding of mosquitoes, rodents etc. The result shows that the provision of double composite liner system
can reduce the ground water contamination. Leachate generated can be collected through pipes and then it can be
treated properly. Methane gas produced in the landfill can be used for the generation of electricity.
