How Can a Plastic Pyrolysis Plant Make Combustible Fuel
A plastic pyrolysis plant is an industrial-scale facility for that thermal decomposition of plastic materials inside an oxygen-free environment. It works by heating components of plastic in the lack of oxygen. Without oxygen within environmental surroundings, an increased-temperature process of pyrolysis occurs which rapidly reduces the bonds connecting polymers and monomers from the plastic ...

22.8 MWe Landfill Gas Fuel Combined Cycle Power Plant Olinda Alpha Landfill - Case Study
The Olinda Alpha Landfill Gas-to-Energy Facility is among the largest projects of its kind in the United States. Located at the Orange County Waste Recovery Facility in Brea, California, it uses extracted landfill gas to power four(4)Taurus"60 combustion gas turbine generator sets, which produce electricity for sale to the City of Anaheim Public Utilities. The combined cycle system recovers ...

Case study - High volume fly ash for the 2 Folsom project
High Volume Fly Ash (HVFA) concrete was successfully used as the cornerstone of this project’s sustainability program. HVFA concrete was aggressively pursued because of its environmental benefits. When fly ash is used in place of cement, energy and landfill space is conserved and greenhouse gas emissions are reduced. During this HVFA project, roughly 2,800 tons of CO2 emissions were ...

Halifax case study
Highway 101 Landfill Sackville, Nova Scotia In 2001 Highland Energy Inc. was contacted by the Halifax Regional Municipality regarding their recently closed landfill on route 101 in Sackville, Nova Scotia, with regards to determining the potential to develop a landfill gas to energy project. Highland conducted its due diligence and feasibility studies and concluded that, subject to certain ...

Landfills types of technologies for converting LFG into Energy
A number of factors, including the availability of an energy market, project costs, potential revenue sources, and other technical considerations, can determine which technologies are most appropriate for a particular landfill gas-to-energy (LFGE) project. Technologies for converting LFG into energy include the following. Electricity Generation Approximately 70 percent of the LFGE projects ...

Biogas as an option for industrial applications
Biogas is typically burned to produce electricity or used as vehicle fuel. This case study analyses possibilities to utilise biogas directly in industrial applications to replace current fossil raw materials. True industrial cases are analysed by considering economic impacts of using either landfill gas or gas produced from biomass. Utilisation of biogas is economically viable and technically ...

Santa Clara converts low concentration landfill gas to clean energy
Landfills are an excellent source of methane-rich gas that can be used to generate renewable power. Methane is produced at a landfill as trash decomposes and can be used as fuel for a gas generator to produce electricity. Since 1986, the City of Santa Clara had successfully done this, and had been able to export power to a local utility. However, over time, gas production at a closed landfill ...

Landfill gas, canola and biodiesel: working towards a sustainable system
Snohomish County in western Washington State began converting its vehicle fleet to a blend of biodiesel in 2005. As prices for biodiesel rose due to increased demand for this cleaner-burning fuel, Snohomish County looked to its farmers to “grow” this fuel locally. Suitable oil seed crops for biodiesel feedstock include canola, mustard and camelina. The residue, or meal, has high value ...

Background of biogas technology and its recent developments in Iran
Biogas activities have been initialised since the mid 1970s in Iran. Only a few of about 70 rural projects are still active. Other activities include four municipal landfill gas extraction projects through which, two projects are being ready for power generation and some anaerobic treatment plants in industrial food processing factories. A modern research plant for practical investigation on ...

Recovering energy from biogas emission: the case of Mariana Mantovana landfill (Italy)
This paper deals with the analytic rating of the economic investment in an energy recovery plant for municipal waste, in relation to the estimate of its capability to exploit biogas production transformation, and sale of electricity production, and the Green Certificates. The approach entails the assessment of potential scenarios of biogas flare coming from its production forecasts, according to ...
