Thanks for this,
Dan. I support your suggestion that folks go to the bioreactor and the landfill
gas conferences. It would help in understanding the state of the art, how things
have changed (or not changed) since the early days, what the environmental
ramifications might be, and perhaps lead to bridges of
communication.

PS ~ If I remember
right, you're originally from southern Wisconsin. I don't know if you still have
family here, but we are getting buried in snow, with some areas already at
double the average for the entire season and a storm of 12" this weekend.
There's much more snow in the forecast, as well. The presidential candidates had
to cancel a slew of appearances yesterday and the snow may hold down turnout
tomorrow.
Oops, Correction!
SWANA's upcoming conference in March is on landfill gas, not
bioreactors. I suppose they will cover bioreactors as a subspecies of
landfills producing gas for energy or whatever, though. Sorry for the
"misremembering."

Thanks, Amy:
I too remember some discussion on leachade recirculation, and maybe the
current "bioreactor" technologies could count recirculation as an ancestral
practice, but I believe they are a different animal with different capital
requirements and different motives. SWANA is doing a whole conference
this year on bioreactors; anyone going? We ought to be sending people
to these things to find out what they're proposing and bring back more
current info.
