NORM can be the by-product or waste product of oil, gas and geothermal energy production. Sludge,... more NORM can be the by-product or waste product of oil, gas and geothermal energy production. Sludge, drilling mud and pipe scales are examples of materials that can contain elevated levels of NORM, and the radioactive materials may be moved from site to site as equipment and materials are reused. Uncontrolled activities associated with enhanced levels of NORM can contaminate the environment and pose a risk to human health. This mini project is intended to provide information about good design of landfill disposal facility for NORM from oil and gas industries. Good design of a landfill site will prevent, or reduce as far as possible, negative effects on the environment, as well as the risks to human health arising from the landfilling of NORM. One choice of landfill disposal facility design is double liner system, this system has two composite liners on top of each other with a leachate detection system between each layer. A key factor to the success of the design for a landfill disposal facility is the site selection process. The site selection process must evaluate all aspects of the natural environment. The other important things are engineered liner, leachate management system, engineered cover and landfill gases. Engineered liner and engineered cover can use combination of natural and engineered material. Landfill gases system is important because NORM from oil and gas industries contain Ra-226 elements that has daughter product in the form of radon gas.
