At the 12th Annual EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) Conference and Project Expo in Baltimore, Granger Energy won an award for Multi-User Project of the Year.
Based in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, the Landfill-Gas-to-Energy project extracts methane gas from the nearby Conestoga Landfill, compresses and dries the gas and sells it to seven industrial customers in the area.
The project is designed to handle 7,200 SCFM of landfill gas (making it one of the largest in the country), with eventual plans to go as high as 12,500 SCFM. The reduction in greenhouse gas emission is equivalent to planting 10,600 acres of pine or fir forest, removing 8,500 passenger vehicles from the road or preventing Carbon Dioxide emissions from burning 108,700 barrels of oil each year.
Pneumatech worked closely with Granger to design and build a 6,000 SCFM low pressure gas dryer to process the gas for cleaner burning. The coalescing Pre-Filtration was also supplied for the dryer. The system uses an impressive 140 horsepower Copeland Screw Compressor and eight high volume cooling fans sequenced by individual fan controls. The system also features an advanced Allen Bradley MicroLogix electronics package that reports alarm conditions that are monitored locally and relayed to the landfill operators by cell phone text messaging.
Granger also won Project of the Year in 2005 for their work at the Lanchester Landfill in Narvon, PA. Pneumatech provided the gas treatment equipment for that project as well. News Release PDF Download
