Landfill gas emission surface sampling Ottawa Landfill

GENIVAR 1 Q111931

1. INTRODUCTION

Waste Management of Canada Corp. has given a mandate to GENIVAR for the

assessment of methane emission at the surface of Ottawa landfill.

According to the offer for professional services, the following tasks were performed:

Measurement on a continuous basis of the methane concentrations in the

ambient air above the surface of the landfill site with the FID-GPS technology

developed by the firm GENIVAR ;

Data processing and mapping of results ;

Technical report editing.

Field work was performed by Mr. Alexandre Monette and Mr. Marc Bisson of

GENIVAR on April 30th and May 1st 2008.

GENIVAR 2 Q111931

2. METHODOLOGY

2.1 Location of measurements

Assessment of vertical migration of LFG was performed above the entire landfill.

Location of the measurement points is shown on Figure 2-1.

This assessment was also performed above the LFG air sparging system trench (2 lines

of 1 km long at a height of approximately 6 inches above ground). Location of the

measurement points is shown on figure 2-2.

2.2 Methodology

Methane concentrations above ground are measured and recorded on a continuous

basis with a portable Flame Ionisation Detector (FID). Spatial location of the

measurement points are defined and recorded by a Global Positioning System (GPS).

According to the EPA procedure, the sampling is done along the periphery of the

waste cells and along a serpentine pattern spaced about 30 meters apart, at a height

of approximately 6 inches above ground.

Methane concentrations are then processed and spatial coordinates are transformed

from the degree, minute, second format to the NAD83MTM Zone 9 system. A map

showing iso-contours of methane concentration is prepared. The iso-contours are

overlaid on a map showing the landfill gas collection system general arrangement in

order to be able to evaluate its efficiency and to identify areas where modifications

are required to reduce emissions to the atmosphere.

2.2.1 Instrumentation

Methane concentrations are determined with a Thermo Environmental Instruments

TVA 1000B portable analyser by the flame ionisation method. This instrument is used

for the measurements into ambient air of small concentrations of total volatile organic

compounds, expressed as methane. The analytical range of the analyser is 0 to 50

000 ppmv with a lower detection limit at 0,5 ppmv.

Landfill gas emission surface sampling Ottawa Landfill

GENIVAR 3 Q111931

Since the concentration of methane in landfill gas is more than 100 times higher than

non methane organic compounds and that the measured concentrations are low, the

result given by the instrument is interpreted as methane alone.

Spatial co-ordinates are measured by a Garmin GPS which in DGPS mode has an

accuracy of less than 1 meter.

Wind speed is checked regularly during sampling with a portable anemometer.

2.2.2 Instrument calibration

Accuracy of the analytical instrument is verified on a regular basis with calibration gas

having a known composition. Adjustments are made if required. For the TVA

1000B, the calibration gases are composed of:

100 ppmv of CH4 in air; 10 000 ppmv of CH4 in air.

2.2.3 Meteorological constraints

Average wind speed during sampling shouldn't exceed 8 km/hr with maximum peak

speed at 20 km/hr.

GENIVAR 6 Q111931

3. RESULTS

3.1 Regulations

In Ontario, owners of landfill sites need an approval if their facilities “may discharge

or from which may be discharged a contaminant into any part of the natural

environment other than water » (Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990,

CHAPTER E.19, part II General Provisions, section 9 Approval of Director, plant or

production process). However, no specific maximum acceptable concentration of

methane above the surface is defined.

Under item No. 4 of Provincial Officer’s Order No. 5830-6Z2PPW, WM is required

to perform landfill gas emission surveys at the Ottawa landfill site in April, June,

August and October 2008. Each report shall include also the survey results of the

previous campaign and describe any actions related to the LFG collection and flaring

system taken since the last survey.

US EPA has enacted operational standards in "Standards of Performance for New

Stationary Sources and Guidelines for Control of Existing Sources: Municipal Solid

Waste Landfills", into effect since March 12th, 1996 (40 CFR Parts 51, 52 and 60).

This rule stipulates that methane concentrations measured at the surface of the

landfill shall be less than 500 ppmv. EPA methodology and standard will be used for

the assessment of methane emissions to the atmosphere at the Ottawa landfill.

3.2 Surface sampling results

Results show that there are 19 points (0,44%) having a methane concentration above

500 ppmv compared to 3,21% of the points for the previous survey. Table 3-1

presents the location of those points together with their concentration and table 3-2

presents the results of November 2007 survey.

Figure 3-1 presents the detailed results for this survey and figure 3-2 for November

2007. Iso-contour map of methane concentrations is shown on figure 3-3 for this

sampling campaign and figure 3-4 for November 2007. The highest concentration

recorded in the present survey is 951 ppmv at (346 709, 5 015 785) which is located

south of well 4.

Figure 3-5 presents the methane concentrations obtained above the LFG air sparging

system located along Carp Road for this survey and figure 3-6 for November 2007.

No methane concentration higher than 500 ppmv was measured in April 2008.

3.3 Site configuration and well performance

As of May 2008, the landfill gas collection system at Ottawa landfill is composed of

125 vertical extraction wells. All these wells are connected to two (2) pumping and

flaring stations via a 450 mm header located at the bottom of the slopes.

3.4 Works since previous assessment

A total of 22 wells were installed by Waste Management between December 2007

and April 2008 :

18 new wells were installed (GW 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114,

115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 127 and 128) ;

4 wells were redrilled (GW 37, 49, 50 and 57).

3.5 Wind speed

Sampling was done when the winds were under specifications described at 2.2.3.

Due to weather conditions, work could not be carried out before the end of April

2008. During the sampling campaign, the wind velocity was between 0 and 8,0

km/hr.

4. INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

April results indicate an improvement of the LFG collection system efficiency when

compared to November 2007. Globally, the emissions of methane to the

atmosphere are low except for a few disseminated high spots, mainly :

1) Along the south slope, between wells 6 and 7 ;

2) Near of well 27.

No high value was recorded above the air purging system near Carp road.

The integrity of the soil cover should be checked and modified if required and the

vacuum increased at the wells located in the area of the high spots.
