Methane oxidation systems for the biological treatment of weak gas
Landfill methane (CH4) is microbially oxidized to carbon dioxide. Thereby, the risk of explosion and the emissions of the greenhouse gas CH4 are reduced.
Location: Zuid-Holland, Netherlands (Nederland)

Rehabilitation of “La Pitilla” landfill
Rehabilitation of “La Pitilla” landfill, located in a sensitive area, to guarantee stability, protect environment and, further,develop a recreational area.

The Natural Cap – Sustainable solution for landfills
The remediation of the 100 ha. Volgermeer landfill is a key example of the transition of what was once a heavily polluted waste site into a natural park.
Location: Gelderland, Netherlands (Nederland)
Project: COCOON
Quality control of technical elements of landfills by an independent third-party
Surface cappings and basal liners of landfills have to meet defined technical requirements. The installed quality is monitored by an independent third party.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Surface capping: Constructing top soil by incorporation of compost
Plant growth on the landfill surface requires nutrients and organic matter in the top soil. Topsoils can be emulated by adding compost to non-humic subsoils.
Location: Brandenburg, Germany (Deutschland)
Project: COCOON
Landfill remediation by excavation – Case Treuenbrietzen
A closed landfill, Treuenbrietzen was remediated by excavation of the landfill body and transfer of the waste to other landfills.
Location: Arnsberg, Germany (Deutschland)
