TRANSFORMING LOW-BTU LANDFILL GAS

INTO CLEAN ONSITE POWER


TRANSFORMING LOW-BTU LANDFILL GAS INTO CLEAN ONSITE POWER

Today, multiple landfill sites producing low quality gas with a methane content below 30% are taking advantage of Ener-Core’s technology to effectively deal with low methane gas – even as low as 1.5% by volume.

Ener-Core’s Power Oxidation technology can effectively convert impure gases with low energy densities into a form which can be processed by gas turbines to produce electricity and heat.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Oxidizer

Recuperator

Compressor

Generator

Preheated Air/ Fuel Mixture

Exhaust Gas

Methane Gas

Compressed Air

Aspirated Air

Hot Gas From Power Oxidizer

The Ener-Core Powerstation is an ideal solution, transforming previously unusable low-energy gas into a source of onsite electricity using gradual oxidation technology whereby sufficient heat is released to drive the turbine.


Results have been seen to show

THE RESULTS

Flare minimization

Less than 1 ppm NOx emissions

Low CO emissions

High tolerance to H2S, Siloxane

Electricity production

Extended lifetime of gas extraction and conversion

to useful energy

THE PRODUCTS


The Ener-Core Power Oxidizer Powerstations are the only

power generation solution which runs directly on low

pressure, low quality gases which typically cannot be utilized

or even flared. By integrating thermal oxidation with proven

turbines, the system consumes the widest range of gases

from 100% to as low as 1.5% methane.

• Features And Benefits

· Near zero NOx emissions

· Meets stringent environmental standards

· The widest possible range of fuel concentrations

· Minimal fuel conditioning



Is your landfill ideal for an Ener-Core Powerstation? It may be if it has several of the following:

THE NEED

Low quality gas from:

• Active landfills with diversion programs

• Old or closed landfills with decaying methane production

• Reciprocating engine or flare no longer operating or needing supplemental fuel

• Tail gas from landfill-gas-to-pipeline processing plants or biogas conditioning

Emissions concerns or emissions in non-attainment

• Mitigate air pollution, generate power cleanly, or get permission within a non-attainment region

Landfill gas collection with continuous supply of gas

• Flares are currently in place, and gas is being flared or vented continuously

Demand for power or access or utility grid to sell power

• Offset high retail electricity prices

Closed Army Base landfill with

varying methane quality ranging

from 15-30%. A successful

demonstration of Ener-Core

efficacy.

Closed landfill with below 30%

methane; past problems with

reciprocating engines running

inconsistently. This 250kW system

was successfully installed in 2014.
