화학적 CO₂ 흡수 공정에 많이 사용되는 모노에탄올아민(MEA)을 사용하여 매립지가스(LFG)에서 이산화탄소(CO₂)를 포집하여 매립지가스를 이용한 발전용 엔진의 열효율을 증가시키고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. LFG를 에너지원으로 사용하는 것은 온실가스 배출량을 줄이는 수단이 될 수 있기 때문에 MEA를 이용하여 LFG 중의 CO₂를 줄이고 CH₄의 농도를 높여 발전 효율을 향상시킬 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 MEA 용액에서 CO₂와 CH₄의 용해도를 측정하고 다양한 조건에서 용해도를 높이고 용해 특성을 분석하기 위해 실험을 수행했다. 그 결과 반응 가스에 대한 MEA의 비율이 증가함에 따라 CO₂ 흡수율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. CO₂ 용해도를 최대화하기 위한 최적의 MEA 농도가 있으며, 이 농도 이상으로 농도를 높여도 용해도가 크게 향상되지 않았다. 본 연구는 온실가스 배출량을 줄이면서 LFG에서 CO₂를 포집하고 CH₄의 농도를 높여 보다 실용적인 연료를 개발할 수 있는 기반 연구를 수행했다.

Emissions of leachate, odor, and landfill gas(LFG) from an open-dumping landfill site do harm to public health by contaminating neighboring soil, underground water, and rivers. Particularly, methane($CH_4$) and carbon dioxide($CO_2$), the main components of LFG, are especially noted as the causing material of the global warming that become seriously recognized worldwide issue. As one of alternatives in managing LFG, incineration of inflammable wastes that are generated during excavation process at an open-dumping landfill has been evaluated. Standard on stabilization for evaluation, neither $CH_4$ density nor $CO_2$ density could not Because meet 'less than 5%' criterion and so it is right to install a gas collection system during landfill renewal to prevent diffusion of odor and collect it. Because it shows considerable heating value, incineration of inflammable wastes might be the reasonable solution from the result of our study.

As new small scale LFG (landfill gas) energy project model which can improve economic feasibility limited due to the economy of scale, LFG-Microturbine combined heat and power system with $CO_2$ fertilization into greenhouses was proposed and investigated including basic design process prior to the system installation at Gwang-ju metro sanitary landfill. The system features $CH_4$ enrichment for stable microturbine operation, reduction of compressor power consumption and low CO emission, and $CO_2$ supplement into greenhouse for enhancement plant growth. From many other researches, high $CO_2$ concentration was found to enhance $CO_2$ assimilation (also known as photosynthesis reaction) which converts $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ to sugar using light energy. For small scale landfills which produce LFG under $3\;m^3$/min, among currently available prime movers, microturbine is the most suitable power generation system and its low electric efficiency can be improved with heat recovery. Besides, since its exhaust gas contains very low level of harmful contaminants to plant growth such as NOx, CO and SOx, microturbine exhaust gas is a suitable and economically advantageous $CO_2$ source for $CO_2$ fertilization in greenhouse. The LFG-Microturbine combined heat and power generation system with $CO_2$ fertilization into greenhouse gas to enhance plant growth is technologically and economically feasible and improves economical feasibility compared to other small scale LFG energy project model.

Landfill gas has merely half heating value compared with liquified natural gas but can be greatly utilized as a commercial fuel. The authors have examined emission characteristics as well as measured burning velocity of LFG mixed gas which contains plenty of $CO_{2}$. With the viewpoint of fuel utilization, flame stability could be one of important characteristics of LFG. In this study, the comparison experiments are conducted between $CH_{4}$ and LFG for searching the region of flame stabilization based upon the flame blowout at maximum fuel stream velocity. As a result, it is found that stabilization region of LFG is not improved with that of $CH_{4}$ in non-swirl/or weak swirl jet diffusion flame. However, it is also known that flame stability is hardly affected by inert gas in the strong swirl with considering widened flame stabilization region of LFG rather than LNG.

Indonesian Ministry of Environment estimates that each year 170 cities and regencies in Indonesia produce 45,764,354.30 $m^3$ or approximately 11,441,091.08 ton of solid waste. Unfortunately, unsustainable management system has created a severe waste problem, hazardous to health and environment. This paper deals with the problem and offers some solutions. They are 3R (Reduce Reuse and Recycle), waste-to-energy concept and landfill gas (LFG) utilization. While 3R policy has been adopted by the government, the remaining two technologies are still dormant. Thus the paper provides a complete yet compact analysis of technology, economics, and environment aspect of waste-to-energy and LFG. Given the facts of waste production and management in Indonesia, the purpose is to encourage Government of Indonesia and other stake holders (including international community) to explore and exploit this potential. Potential of reducing waste negative externality while receiving extra revenue. Two bird with a stone.

In this study, experiments were performed to investigate the characteristics of flame stabilization of the LFG mixing gas. LFG has merely half heating value compared with liquified natural gas but can be greatly utilized as a commercial fuel. In order to use LFG in practical combustors, Webbe Index and heating value of LFG mixing gas were adjusted by mixing LPG with LFG. The comparisons were conducted between CH$_4$and LFG mixing gas for searching the region of flame stabilization based upon the flame blowout at maximum fuel stream velocity. As a result, the flame stability of LFG mixing gas was not improved with that of CH$_4$in non-swirl and weak swirl diffusion flame. However, LFG mixing gas had wide flame stabilization region rather than CH$_4$with increasing ambient flow rate in strong swirl. It was also found that flame stability was affected by included quantity of inert gas such as CO$_2$in the weak swirl but by heating value of fuel in strong swirl.

Sudokwon landfill("Sudokwon" means regions of Seoul, Kyunggi and Incheon metropolitan cities in Korea), the world's largest sanitary landfill, has been systematically managing statistics on the incoming and dumping wastes and satisfactorily controlling pollutants including leachate and LFG. According to our long time experience of LFG field monitoring, the emission of GHG from landfill estimated by the IPCC Guideline showed much difference with our results. C&D waste has high concentration of sulfate compared to other wastes. Increased C&D waste of dumping waste had changed the COD/sulfate ratio in the landfill, which caused the increase of H₂S gas and the decrease of CH₄ gas. But the IPCC estimation method does not consider the effects of sulfate. In addition to that, the oxidation factor of the cover soil is set to the default values of 0.1 but the measured values by the field monitoring, are showing much higher than that, especially in the closed landfill.

The most general treatment method of municipal solid waste is a landfill. The LFG (landfill gas) migration is a serious problem in environmental aspect. The object of this study is to present the possibility of LFG utilization as a replacement or supplementary fuel for local energy -demand. We have developed the EXCEL program for the economic analysis.

In this study, the burning velocity of LFG and LFG mixing fuels related with flame stabilization have been analyzed numerically using C3 reaction mechanism which consists of 92 species and 621 reaction for using LFG. The results show that the burning velocities of LFG and LFG mixing fuels are obtained as a function of CH$_4$ and LFG percent in stoichiometric conditions. Also, a correlation of the burning velocities LFG and LFG mixing fuels are obtained over a wide range of equivalence ratio. The comparison of burning velocity from correlation with that calculated numerically show good agreements. From these results, the proposed burning velocity correlations for LFG and LFG mixing fuels can be applied for the practice of LFG.

매립가스의 자원화를 저해하는 전처리 대상물질 중 하나인 유기규소화합물(실록산)에 대한 흡착제의 제거특성을 확인하기 위하여 실제 매립가스를 대상으로 야자계 활성탄, 석탄계 활성탄, 실리카겔, 탈황제, 슬러지탄화물, molecular sieve 13X의 여섯 가지 상용 흡착제 등을 사용한 흡착실험을 수행하였다. 흡착제별 실록산 제거특성을 확인한 결과, 야자계 활성탄은 흡착된 L2성분의 급격한 유출이 확인되었으나 전체적인 실록산 제거효율과 흡착특성을 고려할 때 가장 우수한 흡착제로 나타났다. 그러나 실록산의 제거효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있는 실리카겔의 경우에는 매립가스 중 D4와 D5 성분을 효과적으로 제거하였으나 L2성분은 흡착되지 않는 것으로 나타나 일부 실록산 성분의 제거효과만이 확인되었다. 한편, 야자계 활성탄을 직렬배열하였을 때, 처리된 매립가스의 실록산 함유정도와 농도변동의 주요인자인 L2성분을 비롯한 실록산 성분의 안정적인 제거가 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 실제 매립가스를 구성하고 있는 매우 다양한 성분들의 특성과 상호작용으로 흡착제의 실록산 제거특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 효율적인 매립가스 자원화를 위해서는 흡착제와 대상물질 사이의 흡착특성과 함께 매립가스에 포함된 처리대상물질의 배출특성에 따른 전처리가 이루어져야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.
