The
second phase of the I-95 Landfill Project is almost an exact
replica of Phase I. The plant, which is located alongside
Phase I, also utilizes four Caterpillar 3516 engines and
consumes 1150 standard cubic feet per minute of landfill
gas. Since it's commissioning in March 1993, Phase II has been exporting in excess of 3MW at a capacity
factor of over 99% each month. This power is also sold
to Dominion Power, formerly Virginia Electric and Power Company. LES supplied all
design, engineering, construction, and commissioning services
for this power plant. Like Phase I, I-95 Phase II is
owned, operated and maintained by LES. The combination
of the Phase I and Phase II facilities is the largest landfill
gas-to-energy operation in the state of Virginia. |
