The aerobic environment decomposition is accelerated and amount of VOCs, toxicity of leachate and methane are minimised. In anaerobic bioreactors with leachate being circulated the landfill produces methane at a rate much faster and earlier than traditional landfills.
The aerobic environment accelerates the breakdown of organic matter in landfills. This process reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs), improves the quality of leachate, and minimizes methane production. In anaerobic bioreactors, leachate is circulated, leading to faster and earlier methane generation compared to conventional landfills.
