Abstract Details

1999, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering.
The objective of this work was to design a system to assess and quantify the performance of co-disposed dewatered sewage sludge and municipal solid waste. Specific objectives for the design and construction of the bioreactors were as follows: 1. Design and construct two physical model laboratory-scale landfills which simulate full-scale municipal solid waste landfills. 2. Instrument two physical model laboratory-scale landfills to monitor temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, redox potential, total dissolved solid, electrical conductivity, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, leachate flow rates and gas composition. 3. Produce preliminary results to better understand the performance of the design. To achieve these objectives, two 1.53 m3 laboratory scale models were constructed and instrumented to measure pH, redox potential, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, temperature, moisture content, loss of mass, and gas composition. Solid waste obtain from the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio was initially characterized for chemical composition, organic fraction, and complex organics. Preliminary data was compared to previously reported values for bioreactor landfill to assess the initial performance of the models.
