The natural decomposition of municipal solid waste
results in the production of landfill gas. This gas
consists primarily of methane and carbon dioxide.
Because of its high methane content landfill gas is both
potentially explosive at high levels and also a valuable
energy resource. Landfill gas can be used as the fuel
for numerous energy projects including electric
generation, direct use in boilers, steam generation, and
leachate/condensate evaporation. The EPA's New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) require most large
landfills to collect and destroy landfill gas. Landfill
Energy Systems offers the Landfill Owner a proven
solution and the chance to turn the liability of
collecting landfill gas into an asset by developing a
successful landfill gas to energy project. A gas
utilization project will provide an opportunity to
reduce costs associated with regulatory compliance.
Landfill gas to energy projects have also been proven to
provide opportunities for positive community relations
for the landfill owner with the addition of a
"green power" project.
Landfill Energy Systems is a national leader in the
development, construction, operation and maintenance of
landfill gas to energy systems. Landfill Energy Systems
has been developing power generation systems since 1986,
using a variety of technologies. Over the past 19 years LES has
successfully developed 22 landfill gas projects,
in seven states, processing over 60 million cubic feet of landfill
gas per day and generating over 80 megawatts
of electrical power. This experience covers landfill gas
electric generating facilities, condensate disposal, and
direct gas sales projects using landfill gas to fuel
several industrial processes including a sludge burner
facility and steam boilers.
