Landfill gas is made of decomposed solid waste
The gas contains 50% of methane and 50% carbon dioxide and a small amount of non-methane organic compound
The gas can also be trapped and used as energy
There are over 400 operational LFG energy projects in the United States
Can use LFG as electricity energy
Cogeneration uses LFG to make electricity and thermal energy
Can be directly used as a boiler, and dryer
Can be used as natural gas and vehicle fuel
With a lot of moisture in the landfill it can make to much landfill gas
In the pipes liquids can condense and block the flow of gas
Pumps are especially designed to manage liquid levels
Pumps are air powered and can be used as explosive methane
Piston pumps are especially made to pump thick liquids
