Smart Management Platform for Landfilling of Waste after Mechanical Biological Treatment

Abstract

With the rapid development of the economy and society, the production of municipal solid waste is continuously increasing worldwide. Therefore, harmless treatments and the disposal of municipal solid waste should be improved. This study combined the concept of Internet of things and smart environment protection with a “cloud, network, end” platform architecture to construct a smart management platform for the planning and management of landfills. The platform was developed for the mechanical biological treatment (MBT) of landfills and was divided into seven modules, landfill design, municipal solid waste production prediction, MBT waste microbial volume reduction, stability analysis, result analysis, remote monitoring, and sharing and communication, which can effectively improve the operation and management of waste, enhance the effective storage volume of a landfill, extend its service life, and thereby improve the sustainable development of the city. This study can be used as a reference for applications in similar projects worldwide.
