RESPEC PROJECT

Planning, design, and permitting for the development of a 9,600 SCFM LFG-to-RNG Plant for transmission to a local natural gas pipeline for use across the regional distribution network. The plant is designed to process up to 9,600 SCFM of LFG at approximately 45-50 percent methane content, with additional space reserved for future expansion. This plant is proposed to incorporate the former Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGTE) turbine facility that has been converted to operate using natural gas to generate power for the RNG plant. Extensive condensate management controls were required to accommodate the existing terrain and design / integrate LFG piping from the landfill.

Project Highlights

• Preliminary Site Layout Evaluation and Design
• Low Pressure Gas Delivery and Condensate Management Mechanical Design
• Electrical and SCADA Design and Programming
• Zoning, Land Development, and Permitting
• Environmental Permitting
• Air Permitting for Site operations including 9,600 SCFM Open flare and Thermal Oxidizer
• Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) and Certification
• Ongoing LFG Delivery System Operations Support

Benefits (Engineering, Economics, & Environment)

• Integrated LFG Beneficial Use project with the existing third-party LFG user facility and repurposed the existing LFGTE turbine facility
• Additional availability of natural gas helped grow the number of industrial facilities attracted to this area
• Helps the landfill reduce site greenhouse gas emissions and maximizes LFG collected at the landfill for beneficial use
