lixiviates (N)
The sanitary landfill of Rio Azul started operations in 1973. Since then, 4 million metric tons of solid residues have been deposited there. During an important part of the operation period (more than 60%) of the placement of residues was done without any type of technical criteria, without respirators for the biogas produced and without treatments for the lixiviates generated.
Currently, the landfill is in the process of closing down and it has a passive ventilation system, and conduction of lixiviates. For this reason it is necessary to create the structures (in general it deals with active extraction wells) which allow the outflow of these gases, and a safe disposition, these will later be used for the extraction of the biogas until they reach the generation plant.
