About

Digging up an old landfill without appropriate pre-treatment not only causes massive odor nuisance to the surrounding area and additional environmental pollution, but also creates a considerable hazard for employees. 

Landfill gas is formed in a landfill with organic substances in the absence of oxygen.

This odorous, highly flammable gas promotes the greenhouse effect and has a proven carcinogenic and toxic effect on humans. This is due to the combination of the trace substances hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans, perchloroethylene and vinyl chloride in addition to the main components methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. 

You will find further information on the patented process in the appendix. 

If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the ECEXA environmental cluster.
