The Landfill Gas Division relies on innovative evaluation and management techniques adapted to the particular situations found at different landfill sites. Moreover, it provides assistance in the registration and accreditation of carbon emission reduction credits in official records. The Landfill Gas Division offers almost twenty (20) years of experience in the design, construction, operation and financing of landfill gas plants, collection and flaring networks. It has developed unique techniques for evaluating, recovering, managing and utilizing landfill gas resources. Through its ownership of Gazmont landfill gas plant (25MW), Biothermica has gained practical experience in operating landfill gas collection and utilization infrastucture.Landfill Gas EvaluationEvaluation of methane generation - Georeferenced surface sampling - Sampling of existing wells - Dynamic pumping test - Horizontal migrationLandfill gas characterization - Landfill gas sampling - Laboratory analysisProjected landfill gas generation and energy potential using mathematical modelisationLandfill Gas ManagementDesign and construction of gas collection system, pumping station and flaring systemOperation and optimization of gas collection system - Wells calibration - Monthly performance reports - Capture efficiency evaluation - LFGSim: gas collection system optimization softwareEnvironmental performance follow-up - Ambiant air sampling - Migrations follow-up and atmospheric dispersion modelingLandfill Gas UtilizationAnalysis of the utilization alternatives - Direct utilization - Pipeline quality gas - Electricity - HeatAnalysis of the applicable thermodynamic cycles - Diesel cycle - Simple or combined cycle gas turbine - Steam cycleLandfill gas power plant construction - Detailed engineering - Field supervision - Start-upPlant operationFinancing and Carbon Credits SaleFinancing and installation of gas collection systems Financing of landfill gas power plantCarbon credit sales - CDM (Clean Development Mechanisim) and JI (Joint Implementation) projects - Base line study and PDD (Project Design Document) - Host country approval - Validation report - Sale and trading of CER (Certified Emission Reduction) and ERC (Emission Reduction Credit) - CDM Executive Board approval
