Landfill Gas-to-Energy (LFGE) Modeling and Feasibility
Typical Tasks Performed:
- Preliminary site evaluations for LFG recovery
- Extraction testing or static gas testing:
- Portable and trailer-mounted extraction test rigs
- On-site analytical instrumentation
- Computer modeling for forecasting long-term LFG yields
- Market survey for the sale of LFG or LFG-fueled electricity:
- Local utility (avoided cost) rates and interconnection requirements
- Pipeline-quality (high-Btu) price paid by gas company
- Local demand for medium-Btu gas
- Opportunities for waste heat use
- Concept design and cost estimates
- Project pro formas, including capital and O&M costs, revenues, debt service, and debt coverage analysis
