My name is Emma Lundblad and I am a student of Environmental Engineering at Lund Institute of Technology, LTH. It is a five-year education where the interaction between technology, environment and science is a consistently theme. I have specialized in Energy Systems and will be writing my master thesis this spring.
The aim of the thesis is to make a pre-study for a new landfill in Chisinau, Moldova. To fulfill this I will evaluate which of different suggested locations that is most suitable as the location of a new landfill. The evaluation will take different aspects into consideration.
These aspects are:
- social
- economical
- environmental
- potential risks
- cultural heritage
- existing infrastructure
I will also investigate the geological conditions and the hydrogeology at the locations.
When the most suitable location has been chosen I will give a proposal on how to design the new landfill in regard to the chosen location, the composition of the waste and EU legislation on waste, and particularly the Landfill Directive 99/31/EC. I will also take the leachate water from the landfill into consideration as well as the formation of gas.
I will spend two months in Chisinau, where I will visit the existing landfill and the different possible locations for the new one. I will also interview experts in Moldova so that the pre-study will be as applicable as possible.
I am leaving for Chisinau on the 9th of February and will return in the middle of April. I am looking forward to my visit and I am hoping to learn a lot both about landfills and about Moldavian culture during it.
Best regards
Emma Lundblad
Good luck Emma!
