LANDFILL GAS MANAGEMENT
Landfill Gas Utilization a 6-Megawatt generating unit using reciprocating engines operating on landfill gas. The project was developed for Air Products Co. using gas from a New Jersey landfill as a part of an alternative energy program sponsored by Jersey City Electric.
- Identified suitable landfill.
- Developed strategy for negotiations with the landfill.
- Completed concept design within schedule and under budget.
- Prepared proposal to Jersey City Electric.
Provided engineering review and design assistance on a landfill gas collection system for the CDT Landfill, Joliet, Illinois. The design review centered on issues of Constructability and Operateability. The final design represented the most cost-effective approach to landfill gas recovery for the facility.
- Responsible for the technical quality and constructability of the system.
- Design met construction cost constraints imposed by client.
Performed an assessment of the potential for landfill gas migration at the Mallard Lake Landfill, for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, IL.
- Developed model of soils surrounding the landfill.
- Identified potential low permeability lenses and high impact areas.
- Designed monitoring system to monitor for gas migration in areas of greatest concern.
- Completed the project on schedule and within budget constraints.
Designed a landfill gas collection and flare system capable of handling 2,700,000 SCFD of landfill gas for the Congress Development Company Landfill, Chicago, IL.
- Collection system facilitated system balancing regardless of flare location.
- Flare design unique in that the flare was skid mounted and mobile.
- Flare achieved 99.999 % reduction of organic constituents in the gas.
Managed the construction and assisted in the design of the landfill gas collection system as the Central Road Landfill, Des Plaines, Illinois.
- This 4.2 million SCFD system was completed on time an under the budget allotted.
