Landfill Bio Gas Recovery
May 3, 2012
Millions of tons of materials are disposed to landfills all over the world. The landfills receive household, commercial and industrial waste; and, are one of the largest sources of harmful emissions. The organic material in landfills breaks down and produces biogas. The gas typically contains 50% methane, a recoverable and renewable source of energy. Most of the remaining gas is CO2, a potential source for fertilizer.
Over 1,000 landfills around the world collect landfill gas (LFG) for methane recovery.
The gas is a valuable source of “GREEN ENERGY”; however, it’s hot (90 to 110 0F), humid (80-100 %) and dirty; and, its produced at a very low pressure (8” – 20” WC).
Untreated, it’s not suitable for power generation, because, it damages piping & equipment coming in contact with it. Its most troublesome contaminants are – Moisture, Siloxanes and Sulfur compounds. The gas shall be cleaned, dried & compressed for a gen-set, turbine or boiler.
The gas recovery eliminates harmful emissions to atmosphere, provides a renewable domestic energy source, and, earns EPA credits for landfill owners. For proper selection and sizing of equipment, consult factory. PIONEER systems are available with or without PLC, with your choice of controls.
