Landfilling is the most economical and commonly used final disposal method of municipal solid and hazardous wastes. Leachate, which is the inevitable output of the landfills, may cause serious pollution problems if not properly handled. In this study, the hydrologic evaluation of landfill performance (HELP) model was used to examine the performance of the hazardous waste lot (HWL) of Izmit Industrial and Domestic Solid Waste Sanitary Landfill for three different cases. These cases were the (1) existing design, (2) design in the revision plan prepared by IZAYDAS (Izmit Waste and Residue Treatment, Incineration, and Recycling Co.) Inc. and (3) the minimum design requirement of the Turkish Regulation on the Control of Hazardous Waste (RCHW). Results revealed that leachate collected by the drainage layers of the base system for case 2 (IZAYDAS revision plan) is more than that of case 3 (minimum requirement of the Turkish RCHW case); and the percolation rates for all the cases are very close to each other and can be considered to be the same for all practical purposes.

Performance assessment of compacted bentonite/sand mixtures utilized as isolation material in underground waste disposal repositories
Ada, Mahir; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2007)
The design and development of isolation or backfill materials, which seal the disposal facility, are important for disposing the wastes. The use of compacted bentonite-sand for construction of shaft seals and liners for waste containment structures has been proposed by various studies. Therefore; it is aimed in this study to develop an isolation material to be used in underground waste repositories. For such designs to be effective, their performance need to be assessed and a minimum hydraulic conductivity ...
Numerical reservoir simulation of Alaşehir geothermal field
Aydın, Hakkı; Akın, Serhat (null; 2020-02-10)
Use of a comprehensive reservoir simulation is essential for an effective geothermal reservoir management. TOUGH2 has become a widely used simulator for this purpose. In this study, one of the most exploited geothermal fields in Turkey, Alaşehir geothermal field has been modeled by using TOUGH2 reservoir simulator. The study includes more than 100 wells, which are operated by 7 different developers. The total installed capacity of geothermal power plants in the field is 212 MWe, but additional capacity (98 ...
Municipal solid waste landfill site selection for the city of Sanliurfa-Turkey: an example using MCDA integrated with GIS
Yesilnacar, M. Irfan; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Kaya, Basak Sener; DOYURAN, Vedat (2012-01-01)
A municipal solid waste (MSW) management system needs solid waste management (SWM) techniques where the presence of a sanitary landfill is vital. One of the most important issues of sanitary landfilling is to locate the facility to an optimal location. Despite the versatility and case-dependent nature of conventional expert-based site selection procedures, the number of sites to be chosen increases with increased population forcing a number of constraints. Consequently, constraints and environmental regulat...
Investigation of fuel values and combustion characteristics of RDF samples
Sever Akdağ, Ayşe; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is an unavoidable by-product of human activities. The generation of MSW tends to increase with the growing population and the economic development of the society. Landfilling is one of the most common disposal methods for MSW in the world. However, there are numerous disadvantages of landfills including the potential to create air, soil and water pollution. Also, many valuable resources are wasted when waste is landfilled. Furthermore, many countries have established rules to lim...
Optimisation of the treatment and disposal of solid wastes in Northern Cyprus
Barışsever, Coşku; Solyalı, Oğuz; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2016-9)
Solid waste management has been a key issue of Northern Cyprus for many years as only half of the wastes are properly handled at a sanitary landfill whereas the rest are currently being burned or buried inappropriately at many open dumping areas all over Northern Cyprus which is a serious threat to the public health and the environment. In this study, we propose a mixed integer nonlinear programming model to determine which treatment facilities to build and their sizes, whether the current landfill sho...
