Landfill Gas Collection Systems<br />

Network <strong>of</strong> interconnected gas extraction wells<br />

installed in capped portions <strong>of</strong> landfill site.<br />

Suction blowers capture and transport LFG from<br />

wells to a central point where gas is processed for<br />

straight combustion (flaring) or energy recovery<br />

(power, CHP, CNG, etc.).<br />

Typical 75% capture efficiency for collection<br />

systems: comparisons <strong>of</strong> CH 4 captured vs. generated.<br />

Further 10% oxidation <strong>of</strong> CH 4 emissions through the<br />

cover system <strong>of</strong> a landfill.<br />
