Thirty years in the making, this book will take you through the scientific process of advancing the landfill industry into the 21st century. The tools are here; it's time to use them.

About the Book

Municipal Solid Waste Landfills can be an environmental nightmare or they can be a gold mine. Landfills may be a necessary evil but if they are developed correctly they can be a major source of energy. Wherever there are people, there is a need for energy and wherever there are people there is waste. This book will demonstrate an innovative approach to keeping the landfill a safe energy producer in the form of electrical power and other alternative fuels. If every landfill in the United States uses the Steam Injection technology today, we will be the first generation to control our own refuse and not leave it for the next generation.

About the Author

Reg Renaud is president of STI Engineering and has been involved in the development and use of in situ testing instruments used in geotechnical and environmental investigations since 1978. He has been an instructor of in situ testing at several universities. He began developing the Landfill Gas 3-D Profiling Method in 1984. Based on in situ data from these profiles and with the understanding of the dynamic conditions inside landfills he developed the Steam Injection Bioreactor Landfill method.
