Why Use an ADC?
For over 40 years landfills have been using Alternate Daily Covers for the end of day working face cover. Why do they choose to use a spray applied cover? Some of our customer feel like using an ADC simplifies the end of day process, some say it’s about saving time, and other look at the operational savings gained when using an ADC. Management looks at the benefit of maximizing the revenue potential of a huge capital investment and maintaining a friendly neighbor policy by minimizing odors. The engineers use it because it results in a more even breakdown of the organics producing a higher quality gas and make it easier to extract too monetize. There are a 100 reason to use an ADC. The real question is why aren’t you?
Fuel, Depreciation, Interest, Taxes, Insurance, Maintenance & Labor
3 x the operating cost of spraying with a CAPS Machine
- FUEL : The cost of fuel for operating the heavy equipment used to transport the and spread the soil is expensive. Estimated: $6.65/hr times 3 machines or $19.95/hr
- MAINTENANCE: the maintenance cost on yellow iron equipment that is used to move and place soil is Estimated: $18.40 hr times 3 machines or $55.20
- LABOR: labor necessary to operate the heavy equipment includes the cost of the excavator, transportation and spreading the soil. Estimated to be $5.84 / hr times 3 machines
- DEPRECIATION: Depreciation is the delivered cost of the machine divided over the life of the machine and is estimated to be for a CAT D8 in the range of $13.50 to $14 per hour times 3 or $42 per hour
Value of Space
When you are in the business of selling space you shouldn’t be throwing it away. Investing in a new cell is costly and requires hours and hours of design and public relations costs on top of the actual building of the new cell. Maximizing the space is why you spend millions on compactors so why not spend a few thousand on something that will increase your capacity and your bottom line?
Increasing Compaction
In a study done with Veolia in the United Kingdom, using NWC’s ProGuard material helped INCREASE COMPACTION over a three year period by 109%
Compaction Over Time
Time Management
Time is a precious commodity today with Private Operators and Municipalities doing everything they can to preserve CASH and reduce overhead, while at the same time landfill volumes are not falling but growing. Spending excess hours, moving and covering your working face with soil is a waste of time, capital and resources. Time your team can be doing other mission critical projects. NWCI offers daily cover and specialized equipment that can save time whether that is applying the daily cover, controlling odors, applying dust control to your haul roads and seeding. NWCI is focused on helping you get it done faster and more efficiently.
Production of Gas & Stabilization of Landfill
In a 2 year study in Japan by the Institute of Environmental systems or Kyushu University, and the Department of Civil Engineering of Fukuoka University, along with the Environmental Bureau of City of Fukuoka comparing NWCI’s daily cover material in a landfill versus the use of soil, and how soil impacts the flow of leachate and gas within the landfill. The Study determined that a cover layer composed of soil, causes channeling in the movement of liquid within the landfill creating a region in which the stabilization of the waste is retarded as the result of the washing out and degrading of pollutants. It was also confirmed that the use of a NWCI’s cover material allowed more inflow of oxygen into the solid waste layer and as a result is could be made more homogeneous. The result of this allowed the acceleration of the production of gas as the waste mass becomes more homogeneous.
