Abstract

This invention relates to a method to apply waste treatment liquid to a solid waste disposal site by filing a storage tank with waste treatment liquid, connecting the liquid storage tank with a vehicle for solid waste compacting and releasing the waste treatment liquid to a portion of solid waste site in need of moisture. This invention further provided an apparatus for distributing waste treatment liquid over the working face of a solid waste disposal site includes an inflow conduit, a storage tank, an outflow conduit, a control valve that contains a remote-valve control; manifold inlet conduit attached to the control valve, and a manifold to allow the liquid received from the manifold inlet conduit to be distributed evenly over the working face.

Claims

1. A method to apply waste treatment liquid to a solid waste disposal site comprising the steps of:

providing a vehicle for solid waste compacting with a connected liquid storage tank;

filing said storage tank with waste treatment liquid; and

releasing said waste treatment liquid from said tank to a portion of said site in need of moisture.

2. The method of claim 1 where in said waste treatment liquid is leachate.

3. A apparatus for distributing waste treatment liquid over the working face of a solid waste disposal site comprising:

an inflow conduit to receive inflow liquid;

a storage tank for the liquid received from said inflow conduit;

an outflow conduit for the liquid to flow out of said storage tank;

a control valve that contains a remote-valve control;

manifold inlet conduit attached to the said control valve to allow liquid to flow through when the said control valve opens, and

a manifold to allow the liquid received from the manifold inlet conduit to be distributed over the working face.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the said manifold includes a distribution head and liquid discharge openings to distribute liquid over said working face.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 further comprising a remote valve control.

6. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said storage tank has a side surface, said side surface has a plurality of attachment means configured to reversibly attach to a connector.

7. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said storage tank has a back and a front side surface, said front surface is configured to form a blade.

8. A system to apply liquid to a solid waste disposal site comprising:

the apparatus of claim 3 connected to a working face vehicle.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein said apparatus is installed at a location selected from the group consisting of:

front, middle and back of said vehicle.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein the vehicle is a wheel driven vehicle.

11. The system of claim 9 wherein the vehicle is a track driven vehicle.
