Abstract

An analysis was conducted on landfill gas generation and surface emission by major routes for three landfill sites of S Landfill in the metropolitan area. LS1, which had a total landfill gas generation ratio of 10.9%, accounted for 49.4% of the total surface emissions. The total surface emission of methane alone was 13.6 Nm3/min in the three landfill sites. Among them, the surface emission of methane at LS1, LS2, and LS3 was 8.4(61.7%), 4.0(29.4%), and 1.2 Nm3/min(8.9%), respectively. By emission path in the upper, slope, and dike, it was 7.3(53.2%), 6.4(46.7%), and 0.02 Nm3/min(0.1%). The dike section of the major surface emission areas showed the largest oxidation rate at 87.5%, followed by the upper at 72.3%, and the slope at 71.8%. Based on methane generation, LS1 had the largest surface emission contribution rate, with 61.7% of the total by S Landfill. By major emission path, the slope section of LS1 accounted for 41.7% of the total, the upper section of LS2 24.4%, and the upper section of LS1 20.0%, which accounted for 86.1% of the total methane surface emission of S Landfill. Therefore, it is concluded that intensive management will be necessary.

수도권에 위치한 S매립장 내 3개의 매립장을 대상으로 매립가스 배출 및 주요 경로별 표면발산과 관련된 분석을 하였다. 전체 매립가스 발생비율 10.9%인 LS1이 총 표면발산 비중은 49.4%를 차지하고 있었다. 3개 매립장에서의 메탄의 총 표면발산은 13.6 Nm3/min로서, LS1 8.4 Nm3/min (61.7%), LS2 4.0 Nm3/min(29.4%), LS3 1.2 Nm3/min(8.9%)이고, 발산경로별로는 상부 7.3 Nm3/min (53.2%), 사면 6.4 Nm3/min(46.7%), 다이크 0.02 Nm3/min(0.1%)이었다. 3개 매립장의 주요 배출경로별 산화율은 다이크가 87.5%로 가장 크고, 상부 72.3%, 사면 71.8% 순이었다. 메탄을 기준으로 표면발산 기여율은 매립장 별로 LS1이 전체의 61.7%로 가장 컸다. 주요 배출경로별로는 LS1의 사면이 전체의 41.7%, LS2의 상부 24.4%, LS1의 상부 20.0%로서 S매립장의 전체 메탄 표면발산량의 86.1%를 차지함에 따라 향후 집중적인 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.
