9987433Chopra Description: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Professor Manoj Chopra, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Dr. Debra R. Reinhart, Associate Dean for Research, College of Engineering, University of Central Florida (UCF) at Orlando, Florida and Professor Wa'il Abu-El-Sha'r, Director, the Center for Environmental Sciences and Technology (CEST), Jordan University of Science and Technology at Irbid, Jordan. They plan to gather information and data related to landfill leachate and gas generation. This will be used to assess the environmental impact of solid waste landfills, and to design and generate operational guidance to minimize future impacts. Data to be collected in Jordan will include landfill design and operation, disposal capacity of landfills, history of waste disposal, complaints regarding air or water quality near landfills, waste characteristics, and climatic conditions. Details of the geological and soil characteristics at various landfill sites also will be collected to determine the properties influencing leachate migration and potential for contamination of groundwater supply. The data will be analyzed for the environmental impact, using readily available software, including Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Processes (HELP) to quantify leachate flowrates, EPA's Multi-Med and Composite Model for Leachate Migration and Transformation Products (EPACMTP) to evaluate risk to groundwater, and the EPA Landfill Gas Emissions Model to estimate gas volume and quality. Scope: In this project the collaborators plan to combine their expertise in a study to assess management procedures for landfills to maximize conversion of waste biomass to energy, while minimizing adverse impact to the environment. The scientists will study the use of US practices such as waste separation and other operating practices in the different environmental conditions in Jordan. The fieldwork in Jordan will involve scientists from UCF and from CEST. The data analysis and the evaluation of environmental impacts will be done at UCF with participation from two Jordanian scientists. The project is mutually beneficial, is expected to promote research, teaching, training and learning in this field, and is expected to give US researchers a first hand understanding of the issues faced in other geographical regions. It will help our understanding of operating landfills under bioreactor conditions where leachate and gas emissions are minimized. The project meets INT criteria for support of cooperative projects that are mutually beneficial.Funds for this project are provided by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Bioengineering and Environmental Systems.

Reinhart博士（UCF），奥兰多，位于奥兰多，佛罗里达州和约旦科学技术大学环境科学与技术中心（CEST）主任佛罗里达州兼教授。 他们计划收集与垃圾填充浸出和天然气有关的信息和数据。 这将用于评估固体废物垃圾填埋场的环境影响，并设计和生成运营指导以最大程度地减少未来影响。 在约旦收集的数据将包括垃圾填埋场设计和操作，垃圾填埋场的处置，废物处理历史，关于垃圾填埋场附近的空气或水质的投诉，废物特征和气候状况。 还将收集各种垃圾填埋场的地质和土壤特征的细节，以确定影响渗滤液迁移的特性和地下水供应污染的潜力。 将使用随时可用的软件（包括对垃圾填埋过程（帮助）的水文评估来量化浸出液流量，EPA的多MED和用于渗滤液迁移和转换产品的复合模型（EPACMTP），将对数据进行分析，以分析环境影响。 ，以及EPA垃圾填埋气排放模型，以估计气体量和质量。 范围：在这个项目中，合作者计划将其专业知识结合在一项研究中，以评估垃圾填埋场的管理程序，以最大程度地将废物生物量转化为能源，同时最大程度地减少对环境的不利影响。 科学家将研究在约旦不同环境条件下的废物分离和其他操作实践等美国实践的使用。 约旦的野外工作将涉及UCF和CEST的科学家。 数据分析和对环境影响的评估将在两名约旦科学家的参与下在UCF进行。 该项目是互惠互利的，有望促进该领域的研究，教学，培训和学习，并有望让我们的研究人员对其他地理区域中面临的问题有第一手的了解。 这将有助于我们在生物反应器条件下对操作垃圾填埋场的理解，在生物反应器条件下，渗滤液和气体排放量最小。 该项目符合INT标准，以支持互惠互利的合作项目。该项目的资金由国际计划和生物工程和环境系统的部门提供。
