CASE HISTORY: reducing leachate costs in landfills

COST BUDGET CALCULATION

  • Location: Montichiari (BS) | Area: 50,000 m²
  • Average annual rainfall: 0.692 m (source: MeteoBlu)
  • 70% (0.7) of rainfall in the absence of the cover is transformed into leachate.
  • Assumed leachate disposal cost: 30.00 €/m³
  • Calculation of the amount of leachate produced in one year
    0.692 m x 0.7 x 50,000 m² = 24,220 m³/year
  • Calculation of the annual leachate disposal cost in the absence of a cover:
    24,220 m³/year × €30.00/m³ = €726,600.00
  • Cost of complete temporary cover with Cover up + Net Down: € 300,000

RESULT

  • Cover Up + Net Down pay for themselves in 4 months of use
    (cover lasts at least 5 years)
  • Additional benefit with biogas capture:
    + more profit
    + more qualitative biogas yield
