The installation has an installed capacity of 1.4 MW and was modernized in 2020. The modernization included an increase in both the volume of recovered biogas and the generation capacity. The facility is equipped with two generation units: a Jenbacher J320 with a capacity of 999 kW and a Perkins unit with a capacity of 400 kW.
Biogas is recovered from the organic waste mass deposited at the landfill through a gas collection system comprising gas extraction wells, gas headers, collection stations, condensate traps and a blower system extracting biogas from the landfill.
We apply advanced landfill gas treatment technology based on a gas dryer (chiller) and activated carbon filters. Prior to combustion, the biogas is cleaned and dried—first routed through the chiller, where its temperature is reduced and moisture is removed, and subsequently passed through activated carbon filters that eliminate contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide and volatile organic compounds.
The use of advanced biogas treatment technology significantly improves gas quality, resulting in more stable and efficient engine operation. As a result, we reduce oil consumption, lower the frequency of maintenance-related shutdowns and decrease operating costs. This delivers not only economic benefits, but also a reduced environmental footprint.
