Landfill gas cogeneration power plant (LFP)

Landfill gas
The safe collection and disposal of landfill gas is a sensitive topic. Released uncontrolled, it represents a health hazard and a danger to the climate and environment. Used wisely, the fuel can be converted into an energy resource.

Approximately 150-250m³ of landfill gas is created per ton of decomposed domestic waste. This is chiefly composed of methane, a colourless and odourless gas.

When methane content reaches approximately 40%, this gas can be used for power and heat generation in modern co-generation power plants. The resulting gas is drawn out of the landfill via the installed gas wells by means of a vacuum-extraction system. If necessary, the gas is then treated (drained and purified) before being transferred to the gas engines.

Gas with a methane content of less than 40% is disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner. The gas is burned at 1200°C in Pro2?s high-temperature flare stations. This ensures that no additional methane is released into the atmosphere, which is a critical issue as methane, a greenhouse gas, is 23 times more harmful than carbon dioxide.

As a global market leader, we treat landfill gas mixtures and make them useable. We provide profitable plants that are specially equipped for work in this area. Moreover, they are reasonably priced, effective and safe in the utilisation and disposal of gas.
