- Title
- Development of a Methanotrophic Alternative Daily Cover to Reduce Early Landfill Methane Emissions
- Author
- Adams, Bryn
- Date Created
- 2009
- Subjects--Topical
- Microbiology, Environmental engineering, Environmental sciences
- Description
- Final covers, especially when supplemented with gas collection, are highly engineered systems to prevent landfill methane release into the atmosphere. However, some methane production begins even before open cells are covered and often well before...
