Landfill Gas-to-Electricity vs. Direct Pipeline Injection: ROI and Feasibility Compared
Comparing landfill gas-to-electricity and direct pipeline injection highlights key differences in processing and market applications. With the U.S. having just 16.6% of landfills producing energy, choosing between electricity generation and pipeline injection depends on factors like site size, energy prices, and infrastructure proximity…
Caterpillar vs. Cummins Landfill Gas Engines
When comparing Caterpillar vs. Cummins landfill gas engines, their approach to handling corrosive fuels like siloxanes and hydrogen sulfide stands out. Caterpillar’s G3500 series excels in large-scale, low-BTU applications, while Cummins offers strong mid-range performance with lean-burn technology. Selecting the right engine is crucial for project profitability…
Landfills and Methane Gas – Solutions and Environmental Impact
Methane from landfills is 80 times stronger than CO2 over 20 years, posing a critical climate challenge. The EPA’s 3.7 million metric tons estimate contrasts with satellite data suggesting 6 million tons, underscoring the need for effective methane reduction and landfill management strategies…
Gas Flaring Systems vs. Gas-to-Energy Systems for LFG Utilization and Compliance
Gas flaring meets EPA compliance but incurs costs with no return, while LFG energy recovery systems offer revenue potential. With the EPA’s LMOP tools and carbon credit opportunities, making the right choice is vital for financial and environmental benefits. Discover which system excels in compliance and outcomes…
Landfill Gas Extraction Well Design – An Introduction
It is important that all landfill gas extraction wells (also known as gas extraction boreholes) are designed carefully in accordance with best practice. In this article we have tried to identify the most important aspect of design. We also recommend the United Kingdom reader to consult the UK Environment Agency Publication, “Guidance on the Management […]
UK Landfill Gas – Energy, Insights & Information
Beneath capped surfaces of former UK rubbish tips, methane from decomposing waste is powering homes. While landfill gas output is declining due to stricter waste policies, capturing this potent greenhouse gas remains a critical climate win, offering a unique chance to maximize energy recovery from legacy sites…
What Home Water Softeners and Landfill Gas Have in Common: Reducing Environmental Waste
Water softeners and landfill gas are two things you may not think are linked in any way. One is a household plumbing addition, and the other is a natural byproduct of organic waste, such as food scraps and yard trimmings, decomposing in a landfill. However, if these two things are brought together, their similarities are […]
Landfill Gas Production Rate Calculation: Key Factors Influencing Methane Emissions
Have you ever stared at your site’s gas production figures and thought, “Are these numbers actually right?” It’s one of the most common frustrations in waste management. Landfills produce methane constantly, and measuring it accurately matters enormously. Get your Landfill Gas Production Rate wrong, and you’re either over-planning your capture system or missing real emissions. […]
Understanding Landfill Gas Risks Before Buying Property Near a Landfill
Buying Real Estate: Understand Landfill Gas Risks before buying land near a landfill! Landfill sites can produce methane, and that can continue for many years. It has been a known issue for years. Site operators used to see small landfill gas fires as minor problems when they first started to happen in the 1970s in […]
Landfill Gas Engine Tendering Tips for High Landfill Gas Utilisation and Value
We decided to create this article about landfill gas engine tendering due to concerns about the lowest cost tendering rules. Read on for our tips designed to help you procure high landfill Gas Utilisation and low prices. Very often, a landfill gas CHP unit (gas engine) is selected, which offers a low capital cost, but […]
