Landfills are a permanent fixture in our society today. They typically have been open pit repositories for local waste, and in some cases, retired, and covered. However, the biological reactions in these landfills create a marketable biogas that can be useful to the owner.
The consideration of taking a raw biogas from a landfill and converting it to electrical energy or Renewable Natural Gas is fraught with many stumbling blocks. First, and foremost, the raw biogas can contain well in excess of 5000 ppmv of Hydrogen Sulfide. Since the biogas is saturated, this creates a significant corrosion issue for handling the biogas, and if not removed, yields sulfur dioxide in the exhaust of the energy conversion unit. Next, the inclusion of siloxanes, which are almost always a part of the biogas are even more aggressive, as they evolve into damaging sand type powders in the engines.
Lee Enterprises experts in biogas recovery offer solutions for treating these products that make their use a viable outcome, as opposed to just flaring the biogas.
