IS OUR LANDFILL A PROSPECT?
Several factors contribute to the potential
viability of an energy project for a
particular landfill. The amount of "waste
in place" at the landfill will obviously
affect the total amount of landfill gas
(LFG) that is generated. The composition
of the waste stream, that is, the relative
amount of organic waste that will decompose
to the amount of inorganic waste that will
not generate LFG, affects the amount of
LFG that will be available. Climatologic
conditions, such as ambient temperature,
humidity, and annual rainfall, also contribute
to the rate of the waste decomposition,
and thus the rate of LFG generation. Energy
market considerations also impact the
viability of an energy project. Potential
energy consumers or utilities located relatively
close to the landfill increase the possibility
of a feasible energy project. We have
provided a "Prospect Questionnaire" form
under the "Contact Us" section of this
web site. If you would like a Renovar representative
to provide some feedback
regarding project feasibility, please fill
out the questionnaire and submit. One of
our representatives will contact you shortly
to assist in your evaluation.
