Few other activities in the waste management industry are repetitive as waste collection and transfer. Think about it: a single automated residential route truck may make 1,000 lifts per day. That’s a quarter of a million lifts every year! By applying process improvement techniques to your waste collection and transfer operations, you can easily evaluate – and improve – your systems.

Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), compost facilities, and other waste diversion operations are essentially factories. In fact, because materials pass through multiple, repetitive steps, diversion and recycling operations have the closest ties to the typical factory…and with process improvement tools and techniques and opportunities.

Whether your landfill is processing 5 tons a day or thousands, it’s not a one-step process. Between daily waste processing, soil excavation, cell construction, daily cover, and traffic management (just to name a few) you have a lot on your hands…and by implementing process improvements…a lot of opportunity.

Potable groundwater resources in urban areas are often threatened by various plumes of mobile contaminants. Increasingly, groundwater professionals are being called upon to not only determine the source of individual plumes, but to apportion the contributions of multiple sources within a composite plume. Although the principal contaminants of concern in these plumes are commonly volatile organic compounds or heavy metals, often the sources can be more definitively identified through analysis of other trace constituents in the plumes.

With electricity prices falling and expected gasoline and diesel price increases, conversion to CNG for vehicle fleet fueling offers one of the most attractive financial and environmental opportunities available to digester biogas owners. Converting 50 cfm of biogas to CNG can provide approximately 200 gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) per day, and its use can save 50% the cost of gasoline or diesel, as well as lowering greenhouse gas emissions ~85-90% when compared to diesel. Now, thanks to new systems entering the market, biogas flows as low as 50 cfm can be upgraded to produce fuel that can be used for CNG fuel, natural gas engines, boilers, and other energy production, opening up new possibilities for small to medium-sized on-farm or centralized digesters.
