This technical note reviews gas transport mechanisms through flexible geomembranes by measuring methane gas transmission rates, permeance and permeability coefficient of PVC, LLDPE and HDPE geomembranes. A field design chart for estimating methane gas transmission rates for different geomembrane thickness and material is shown that can be used by landfill designers.
