Description: High-btu plant upgrading landfill gas to pipeline quality renewable natural gas.

Scope of Work:

JADE Biogas Engineering team designed the groundbreaking Evonik landfill gas membrane system, a first for landfill sites. Engineering services included system design, PLC programming, startup, and commissioning of the plants, along with construction support.

EPS handled all planning, permitting, engineering, contracts, and installation. Advance One Development (A1) constructed the gas collection system with over 150 collection points, while Advanced Biogas Systems (ABS) fabricated gas processing equipment and interconnecting piping, utilizing Evonik membrane systems for CO2 removal.

A 7.2-mile pipeline interconnected with Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, and an onsite and remote dial-up SCADA monitoring system was implemented. The Renewable Power Producers (RPP) project, with a nameplate design processing of 4000 SCFM of raw landfill gas, was completed within 10 months after financial close.

  • High BTU Gas treatment plant for sale of LFG.
  • Construction of Landfill Gas Control and Collection System
  • Installed over 40,000 of Vacuum header and lateral piping ranging from 30” to 2”
  • Installed air supply and leachate forcemain infrastructure.
  • Installed 4 single-contained condensate sumps and 1 dual-contained out-of-waste condensate sump each with a pneumatic pump for liquid removal.
  • Constructed over 100 individual LFG wells for a total of greater than 5,300 vertical feet of drilling.

Noteworthy: RPP is selling approximately 4.5 million gallons of renewable vehicle fuel annually.
