Controlled Final Landfill Site
Features
YAMAZEN's controlled final landfill site has functions to retain landfilled waste safely, prevent leachate, and stabilize waste with microorganisms, water, and air. YAMAZEN will perform thoroughgoing control to maintain these functions. Furthermore, in order to prevent odor trouble caused by landfill gas generated during waste stabilization, YAMAZEN uses unique self-combustion deodorization equipment takes proper measures whenever necessary in order to maintain a good surrounding environment.

Self-combustion deodorization equipment
Odors are eliminated 99% or more from gas (e.g., fermentation gas or ammonia gas) that is generated from the waste in the deodorization equipment while the waste is in process of stabilization. The equipment incorporates a burner with backfire prevention, thus eliminating the risk of ignition on the landfill site. (Patented No. 3920525)

Leachate regulating tank
The leachate-regulating tank retains leachate safely and continues supplying a constant quantity of leachate to a leachate treatment facility. The equipment is designed so that it can respond to an increase in leachate in times of typhoons or during the rainy season.
