Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the influence of rainfall on flow rate and the percentage of methane in biogas generated in the landfill in Rio Claro - SP, taking into account the operating conditions of the landfill, such as the thickness of the cover and the time of disposal of waste in the soil. To this, will be carried out measurements of flow and the percentage of methane present in biogas in different drains represent the different operating conditions of the landfill in Rio Claro - SP.(AU)
