ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: According to the current state of research MSW landfills with no industrial contaminants must be brought to the fully completed reaction state in a controlled way for the long-term protection of groundwater (in situ stabilization) and landfills containing industrial contaminants must be treated by landfill mining. Conversion from anaerobic to aerobic degradation using controlled gas exchange has proved a reliable practical solution both for reaching the fully completed reaction state and for guaranteeing work safety, protection of residents and environmental protection when working on landfills or performing landfill mining. Today efficient, mobile in situ ventilation methods are available for these complex tasks. In the following the key conditions for these tasks as well as the necessary technologies will be discussed and an overview of these technologies will be given based on selected practical projects.
