초록

LFG 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 매립 가스 발생량 모델을 적용한 결과 Scholl Canyon 모델이 가장 효과적 인 것으로 나타났다. 종료 매립지의 매립가스 활용을 위하여 자연 발생량 이상의 매립가스의 과도한 추출은 외부 공기의 유입으로 인하여 메탄 농도의 감소 및 산소 농도의 증가를 야기하여 매립가스의 활용을 방해하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 매립가스 추출을 통한 안정화 방법은 비효과적이며, LFG 추출은 모델에 의해서 산정된 LFG 자연발생량 이하로 추출하는 것이 바람직하다. 8년이 경과한 시점에서 종료 매립지의 매립가스를 활용하는 방안은 자연발생량이 급격히 감소하여 매립종료 직후보다 비경제적이나 자연 발생량 이하로 소규모 이용시에는 타당성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Landfill gas (LFG) utilization in old landfill was estimated using LFG models. The results showed that Scholl Canyon model best described the LFG generation. LFG was extracted more than the amount of natural production which caused air inflow from outside that resulted in dilution of methane concentration and increase of oxygen concentration. It was negative for the LFG utilization. Therefore, to use LFG, the plan of stabilization by LFG extraction should be ineffective. The use of LFG will have no problem if LFG is extracted less than the amount of natural production which was estimated based on modeling. At 8 years elapsed from landfill, now, the amount of natural landfill gas production was decreased sharply. The plan for using LFG from old landfill is feasible if LFG is used for the less than the amount of natural production as a small scale even though for the aspect of efficiency, it was less economic than use of LFG just after closing landfilling and it was helpful for stabilization of landfill by LFG extraction.
