Landfill Odor Control
Landfill odor control made simple. Problems with landfill odor and foul smelling compounds are typically more significant only near the landfill. Important landfill odor compounds are H2S and organic sulfur compounds mercaptans. Landfill Odor problems are most significant during deposition of the wastes at the landfill. Landfill odor can be a significant nuisance in areas near a landfill. Landfill odor problems can be reduced by minimizing the amount of easily degradable material in the landfill, by keeping a small open waste front at the landfill, by operating as far away from inhabited areas during the summer as possible and by placing landfills under consideration of prevailing wind directions.
The SCI landfill odor control system is simple. The problem area is located, scarified, sprayed with Top-Seal and compacted. This will turn the soil into a fresh impermeable cap which will hold the landfill odor inside the dome where it belongs. It is that simple and that fast.
