Active gas drainage and treatment plant for landfill at Brocken Collection, Bielefeld

Project description
Hazard assessment identified the following measures to protect the new location:
- Protection of construction workers against the risks arising from the exposure to landfill gases during the demolition and construction of the old and new buildings respectively
- Protection of workers against direct contact with landfill effluents and gases during construction works
- Preventing waste disposal deposits from migrating into closed areas of the new building
- Preventing the dispersion of harmful landfill gases
Main features of the technical solutions offered by Sensatec:
- Horizontal gas surface drainage constructed as surface filters resembling round pebbles installed under the building
- Combination of the draining pipes (suction cups) in each partial surface filter on the collecting pipes
- Enabling gas deflagration through the monitoring, sampling and application of mix air dosing procedures
- Complete explosion-proof extraction system installed with downstream bio filters for the oxidation of methane
- Metrological monitoring of methane, volume flow; temperature and vacuum in the raw, mixed and clean air
- Complete remote control connection to the building’s control systems
