Embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods
for treating landfill gas using landfill leachate. In one embodiment of
the present invention, a method includes receiving landfill leachate from
at least one of a plurality of sources, and pretreating the landfill
leachate to adjust at least one chemical property of at least one
component of the landfill leachate. The leachate contacts landfill gas,
so that at least one component of the landfill gas chemically reacts with
at least one component of the landfill leachate to form a spent landfill
leachate and a treated landfill gas. The method also includes recycling a
first portion of the spent landfill leachate, recirculating a second
portion of the spent landfill leachate to at least one of the plurality
of sources, and subjecting the treated landfill gas to flare.
