Abstract

The present invention relates to a landfill gas collection system (100). The system comprises: an elongate manifold (104) configured to be installed substantially vertically within landfill waste, wherein the manifold comprises means for receiving liquid from the landfill; a plurality of collection pipes (102) configured to be installed within the landfill waste, each pipe extending from the manifold, and each pipe comprising a plurality of perforations; means for applying a partial vacuum to each of the plurality of collection pipes for drawing landfill gas into the plurality of pipes; a plurality of gas removal pipes (108) for receiving gas from the collection pipes, each gas removal pipe having at least one inlet being coupled to a respective one of the plurality of collection pipes and an outlet being coupled to a gas header line (410); and means (114) for substantially maintaining a level of liquid within the manifold, wherein in use the level being such that the means for receiving liquid is sealed by the liquid. The invention also relates to a modular landfill gas collection system (500).
