Bioreactors

Bioreactors work by speeding up the breakdown of waste in landfills through optimal moisture conditions, maintained by recirculating leachates in the compartment.
They offer two advantages: more biogas is produced faster and waste stabilizes more rapidly; maintenance is reduced for post-operational sites, which can be rehabilitated faster (for agricultural or other purposes).
