For stabilisation of old landfills prior to excavation

Before an old landfill can be excavated (e.g. for site reclamation, rehabilitation or repair of leachate pipes), the material buried in the landfill has to be treated. This is where the patent-protected SMELL-WELL System comes in.

This system

• converts the landfill from anaerobic to aerobic conditions 
• prevents odour formation during excavation work
• regulates and reduces water flows
• reduces the amount of methane that is released to the air from the landfill.

Use in temporary waste storage

Both large municipalities and small communities are frequently faced with the need to arrange for interim storage of waste. Temporary use of the SMELL-WELL System prevents the development of the odour nuisance typically associated with the interim storage or transfer of waste. Like in large-scale operations, the SMELL-WELL System prevents the generation of obnoxious odours also in small facilities by injecting into the waste warm, high-oxygen air that has been enriched with bacteria that promote decomposition.    

SMELL-WELL System for the alternate “extraction” and “injection” of air

When warm, moist air that is high in oxygen and bacteria is injected into waste material, the micro-climate inside the landfill changes after as little as one to five days. As the anaerobic environment in the landfill is being converted to aerobic conditions, malodorous emissions disappear. Biofilters deodorise the extracted gases and reduce their pollutant levels.

The SMELL-WELL System is the key factor in landfill reclamation and remediation.
