Landfill Gas Extraction Systems and the Equipment Used for Energy Recovery
In this section we discuss landfill gas extraction systems and how the gas collected is used to create renewable energy. It then becomes even more sustainable when the waste heat is then used in combined heat & power (CHP) system. Landfill gas (LFG) is extracted from the landfill by exerting a small negative suction pressure […]
The Explosive Limits for Methane Biogas Explained
Q: What is meant by the “explosive limits” for methane? A: Explosive Range and Flammability – A gas that will burn is said to be “flammable.” Any flammable gas can explode under certain conditions. The range within which an explosion can occur is known as the explosive limits for methane. In order for a flammable gas to explode, […]
Landfill Gas Cut-Off Trenches for Landfill Gas Migration Control
Landfill gas cut-off Trenches can be successfully used for landfill gas migration control where landfill gas is escaping from a landfill underground and threatening to enter properties, or causing the die-back of trees and vegetation on the landfill perimeter. Landfill Gas Cut-Off Trenches Landfill Gas Cut-Off Trenches can be a simple, and when designed correctly, […]
