Claims20
A method, comprising:
- placing, in a landfill, a geosynthetic product, a layer of waste, and, interposed between the waste layer and the geosynthetic product, a layer of foam glass aggregates, wherein the layer of foam glass aggregates is disposed below the geosynthetic product and prevents the waste from contacting the geosynthetic product, and
- wherein the foam glass aggregates are chemically inert and temperature stable.
A method, comprising:
- placing, in a landfill, a geosynthetic product, a layer of waste, and, interposed between the waste layer and the geosynthetic product, a layer of foam glass aggregates, wherein the layer of foam glass aggregates comprises a gas vent layer disposed below the geosynthetic product, and
- wherein the foam glass aggregates are chemically inert and temperature stable.
A landfill system, comprising:
- waste;
- a geosynthetic product;
- and
- a layer of foam glass aggregates disposed above the waste and interposed between the waste and the geosynthetic product, wherein the layer of foam glass aggregates prevents the waste from contacting the geosynthetic product and acts as a heat insulating layer to protect the geosynthetic product from heat from the waste.
