Abstract

Bioreactor landfilling, with the acceptance of landfill Directive in EC in 1999, loosed its actuality in EC, but this method can still be used for acceleration of bio-waste degradation and biogas production as pre-treatment technology of waste. As large gas collection facilities are built and millions of EUR are invested for biogas treatment and production of electricity and heat in the new constructed sanitary landfills in Baltic States, the idea of usage of biogas production cells as bio-waste pre-treatment method is revised.
