  1. CONTAINMENT CONTROL SYSTEMS

  2. Containment control system 1.Leachate collection system 2.Gas collection systems • Liner and Cover - Control movement of leachate & landfill gases

  3. Engineered Containment

  4. Steps for leachate control in landfills • Liner system: -Prevent leachate migration from sides & bases to subsoil -Control damage of liner system -Minimization of leachate heads above liner system • Drainage -Proper collection & removel of leachate

  5. COVER SYSTEMS FUNCTIONS: 1.Control runoff 2.Separate waste from animals, plants, insects, humans 3. Prevent infiltration of precipitation entry into waste 4. Control release of gas from waste

  6. A Typical Landfill Cap Objective of final cover system is to improve surface drainage, minimize infiltration and support vegetation

  7. Components of cover system

  8. 1. SURFACE LAYER ( 40 to 100 cm) FUNCTION: • Vegetation growth • Evapotranspiration • Prevent erosion CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: Top soil, cobbles

  9. 2. PROTECTION LAYER FUNCTION: • Store water • Prevent intrusion by plants, animals etc • Protect barrier layer from freeze , thaw etc CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: • Mixed soil, cobbles

  10. 3. DRAINAGE LAYER (100 to 150mm) FUNCTION: • Drain away infiltrating water CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: • Sand, • Gravel, • Geotextiles, • Geonets, • Geocomposites

  11. 4. BARRIER LAYER( 200 to 300 mm) FUNCTION: • Prevent infiltration of water into waste • Escape of gas out of waste CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: • Clay liners • Geomembranes • Geosynthetic clay liners • Bentonite mix ovelainbt HDPE membrane

  12. 5. GAS COLLECTION LAYER (150 t0 200 mm FUNCTION: • Trasmit gas to collection points CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: • Sand • Geotextiles • Geonets

  13. LINER SYSTEMS • Leachate drainage, Collection layer, Barrier layer • Low permeability, durable, resistant to attack • Liner materials- -natural clays, -amended soil, -geomembranes, -geosynthetic clay liners

  14. TYPES OF LINER SYSTEMS • SINGLE LAYER SYSTEMS • SINGLE COMPOSITE LINER SYSTEM • DOUBLE LINER SYSTEM

  15. 1. SINGLE LAYER SYSTEMS • One layer of impermeable material – to control leachate flow • Lining material : clay/amended soil/geomembrane • Used for: -Nonreactive, non hazardous, non biodegradable waste - Water table is deep

  16. 2. SINGLE COMPOSITE LINER SYSTEM • Two or more layers of impermeable materials • Suitable for muncipal solid waste

  17. 3.DOUBLE LINER SYSTEM • Two liners provided one over the other with sand layer sandwiched in between • Sand layer provided with network of pipes –to collect leachate if any infiltrates into it from upper liner

  18. Liner Requirements • Hydraulic conductivity 10-7 cm/sec or less • Thickness 100cm or more • Adequate strength under compressive loads & along side slope • Absence of clay clods • Absence of shrinkage cracks

  19. Liner Specifications Boynton & Daniel • % fines ≥ 20-30% • Platicity index ≥ 7-10% • % gravel ≤ 30% • Max particle size 20-50mm • Bagchi • % fines 40-50% • Platicity index 10-30% • Liquid limit 25-30% • Clay content 18-25% DOE • Plasticity 10-30% • Activity ≥ 0.3

  20. Liner Design Aspects • Identification of borrow area & source of materials • For in situ soil- Conduct field permeability tests • Liner materials- Lab study • Source of additive materials • Additive mixes- Lab tests • Field trial test on test pads – to find compaction parameters

  21. LANDFILL LINERS • Rigid liners • Flexible liners

  22. 1. RIGID LINERS • Cement Grout • Cement Concrete • Soil cement • Bituminous concrete • Bitumen Panels

  23. a. Cement Grout • Cement: sand 1:4 • W/c 0.4-0.6 • Sides & bottom grouted

  24. b. Cement Concrete Grout • Cement + sand + Coarse aggregate • Reinforced with wire mesh or reinforced bars

  25. c. Soil Cement • Cheap, naturally available • Cement + aggregate blended in dry condition • Water added @ plant or after dry mix spread on prepared surface

  26. d. Bituminous Concrete • Thickness 4cm to 15cm • Chemical compatibility b/w landfill contents & bituminous material

  27. 5. Bitumen Panel • Effective seepage control system • Disadv - Low strength -High deformation characteristics

  28. 2. FLEXIBLE LINERS • Natural Liners Compacted clay Chemically treated/amendedsoil Bentonite clay b. Composite liners c. Synthetic liners

  29. a. Natural Liners- Compacted soil Liners • Natural clay- liner material • If clay not available- Soil + bentonite ( amended soil)- used • Synthetic geomembranes Flexible membrane with amended soil Geosynthetic clay liner • Natural clay excavated or recompacted • If clay brought from nearby areas- spread in layers & compacted

  30. Construction aspects • Clear borrow area- removal of shrubs etc • Adjust w.c in borrow area Sprinkling/irrigating- increase w.c Ripping/areation- Lower w.c • Excavation of materials • Transportation- Haulers/ conveyor systems • Spreading & levelling in thin layers

  31. Final wc adjustment by spraying & mixing water • Compaction using rollers • Quality testing • Placement of next lift & process continued • Lift thickness of clay liners 25-30cm • Sheep foot rollers for compacting lifts • Lift placed in horizontal layers • Lift placed parallel to slope (Side slope 2.5 H to 1 V)

  32. b. Amended soil liners • Low permeability clay not available- • In situ clay + bentonite ( medium –high plasticity)- • achieve low hydraulic conductivity • High permeability clay + sodium bentonite- Hydraulic conductivity less than 1x10-7cm/s • Well graded soil 5-10% by weight of bentonite • Uniformly graded soil 10-15% bentonite

  33. Construction • Similar to compacted clay liner • After excavation stage, additive is introduced into the soil • Additives like bentonite introduced in 2 ways: In plant Mixing Central plant mixing

  34. In central plant method, -Soil & additive mixed in pugmill/ central mixing plant -Water added along with bentonite or seperately • After compaction of lift, covered with plastic sheet- to protect from dessication which results in cracking

  35. Contaminant transport-Transportation by advection/diffusion- studies need to be carried out • Chemical compatibility test need to be conducted

  36. 3. Synthetic Flexible Liners • Polymeric Materials produced in sheets • Thinner, light weight, good quality control, ease of installation, Cost effectiveness • Types of geosynthetics used: Geotextiles,geomats,geospace,Geogrids, geonets, geocell, bonded geogrid, geocomposite

  37. 1.PHYSICAL PROPERTIES • Thickness 0.25- 2.5mm • Specific gravity 0.9-1.5 • Weight • Water vapourtransmisson 1-10g/cm2 in 24 hrs 2.CHEMICAL PROPERTIES • Ozone resistance • U-V resistance • Chemical Compatibility 3. THERMAL PROPERTY • Durability in hot & cold climate

  38. Ground modification techniques • Mechanical modification • Chemical Modification • Hydraulic modification

  39. Liner systems other than Basal lining 1.Side lining system • Similar to basal lining system • Due to steepness of slope, prefabricated products like geomembrane /geocomposite clay liners used

  40. 2.Draiange Blanket • Thickness 0.3-0.5m, @ Bottom 16-32mm gravel • Serves as leakage collection system • Maintain proper hydraulic head above liner • Divert leachate to collection pipes • Bottom provided with gently sloped gravel trenches

  41. 3.Surface lining or top capping • Surface lining: -Proper cover -prevent infiltration -Prevent intrusion of vegetation/animals -Resistant to external forces
