500KW to 4MW Waste To Energy Power Plant , Landfill Gas Power Plants

1. Landfill gas power plant explanation flow chart 

1. Organic waste material (food waste, non-recyclable paper, diapers, etc.) is placed in the landfill and covered with a layer of topsoil. Anaerobic decomposition of the organic material produces biogas. Biogas is approximately 50% methane.
2. Biogas flows into perforated pipes inserted into the landfill. Each pipe is connected to the biogas collection system.
3. A blower aids in extracting the biogas from the landfill.
4. The biogas is treated to remove water and contaminants that could harm power-generation engines.
5. Power-generation engines use the biogas as a fuel to turn electrical generators.
6. The electrical power from the generators is monitored and conditioned before being placed on the electrical power distribution system.
7. Renewable energy is transported to power users through the existing electrical power distribution system.
8. Renewable energy is seamlessly available to electric power consumers. Power consumers also generate waste organic material that is eventually  transported to the landfill to complete the cycle of renewable energy production.
