Ooooh, that's a bit of a low blow.........

[minux]

I dont get it?

The legal mess over the Cranbourne gas leak estate | Herald Sun

or as how the estate was marketed:

Brookland Greens – Private Land Estate, Melbourne, Vic
Reaper

[Dayvo]

Ha ha ha , didn't take long

[minux]

Ahhh.

I am just curious, do people actually investigate where they build these days? Or do they presume that glossy little pamphlet means all is ok?

No offence to the idiots who bought there, but what person with half a brain would knowing the side effects of landfills? It is like buying a block of land beside tullamarine airport then complaining about the noise.

Properties

Methane is the major component of natural gas, about 87% by volume. At room temperature and standard pressure, methane is a colorless, odorless gas; the smell characteristic of natural gas is an artificial safety measure caused by the addition of an odorant, often methanethiol or ethanethiol. Methane has a boiling point of −161 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere. As a gas it is flammable only over a narrow range of concentrations (5–15%) in air. Liquid methane does not burn unless subjected to high pressure (normally 4–5 atmospheres).

Potential health effects

Methane is not toxic; however, it is highly flammable and may form explosive mixtures with air. Methane is violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space. Asphyxia may result if the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 19.5% by displacement[citation needed]. The concentrations at which flammable or explosive mixtures form are much lower than the concentration at which asphyxiation risk is significant. When structures are built on or near landfills, methane off-gas can penetrate the buildings' interiors and expose occupants to significant levels of methane. Some buildings have specially engineered recovery systems below their basements to actively capture such fugitive off-gas and vent it away from the building. An example of this type of system is in the Dakin Building, Brisbane, California.

Reactions of methane

Main reactions with methane are: combustion, steam reforming to syngas, and halogenation. In general, methane reactions are hard to control. Partial oxidation to methanol, for example, is difficult to achieve; the reaction typically progresses all the way to carbon dioxide and water.

damn. needs more gas

[jas98]

damn. needs more gas

everyone on the count of three....1...2....*sniffs*...whats that smell? I SAID 3 GOD DAM IT!

I'v heard on the news(but its hard to say if they know what there on about), is that they have been getting concentrations over the UEL of ch4 at peoples houses, which i think is insane. The gas that is being emmitted from that dump must be hissing out at a rate of knots. To get those concentrations in open atmosphere is awsome.
I think they are drilling and draining it now though, be interesting to see what they do with the extracted gas, as i dont think the epa will simply let them vent it, if they do it will cost a pretty penny.

Yup, like those idiots who move next door to a large sports club that's been there for 80 years and then complain about the noise
