Abstract

Highlights: Data from leachate collection system in landfill Osecna was recorded. Reduction factors of clogging were integrated to De Zeeuw-Hellinga drainage theory. Derived expressions to landfill collection system parameters can quantify clogging. Expressions can be used for landfill collection system design including clogging impact. Results were verified by data from leachate collection system in Osecna landfill. Abstract: The research was focused on approximation of clogging in a leachate collection system in municipal solid waste landfill in Osecna, situated near the location Osecna, region Liberec, Northern Bohemia, Czech Republic, by analysis of numerical experiment results. To approximate the clogging of the leachate collection system after fifteen years of landfill operation (1995–2009) were successfully tested modified De Zeeuw-Hellinga transient drainage theory. This procedure allows application of the reduction factors to express clogging of the leachate collection system in Osecna landfill. The results proved that the modified De Zeeuw-Hellinga method with reduction factors can serve as a good tool for clogging approximation in a leachate collection system in Osecna landfill.
