Where:
Qm = Maximum expected gas generation flow rate, cubic meters per year.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per megagram solid waste.
R = Average annual acceptance rate, megagrams per year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year-1.
t = Age of the landfill at equipment installation plus the time the owner or operator intends to use the gas mover equipment or active life of the landfill, whichever is less. If the equipment is installed after closure, t is the age of the landfill at installation, years.
c = Time since closure, years (for an active landfill c = 0 and e-kc = 1).
Where:
QM = Maximum expected gas generation flow rate, cubic meters per year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year-1.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per megagram solid waste.
Mi = Mass of solid waste in the ith section, megagrams.
ti = Age of the ith section, years.
