Haldor Topsoe awarded providing fuel gas for landfill gas power plant

ENERGYneering Solutions Inc. (ESI), a US O&M contractor and engineering company in the landfill gas industry, has signed a supply and service contract for Haldor Topsoe’s proprietary HiPerFuel landfill gas conditioning solution. The HiPerFuel unit will provide fuel gas for an ESI landfill gas power plant in Washington State.

“We are excited about the possibilities with this new solution from Topsoe. The solution Topsoe is offering is unique to the industry in that it offers high siloxane removal efficiency and long media life comparable with many of the regenerative systems on the market while avoiding the typically high capital and operating costs associated with dehydration of the gas and thermal oxidation of waste gases. We are very much looking forward to seeing the effects of running our engines on a siloxane-free gas,” said William Song, Director of Engineering, ESI.

Siloxanes are an inherent problem for the more than 500 landfill gas power plants in the US. During combustion, they convert into sand-like particles that cause deposits and erosion inside power generating equipment that leads to excessive maintenance costs and down-time. For those plants that utilize backend treatment to improve engine exhaust emissions, siloxanes can also cause significant damage to emissions control catalysts.
