Landfill gas is generated by decomposing waste and can fuel engines or be flared. Compressing it requires equipment that tolerates moisture, siloxanes and corrosive trace gases.
Why Landfill Gas Is Difficult
- Contains methane, CO2, moisture and siloxanes.
- Siloxanes form abrasive deposits when burned.
- Corrosive compounds attack standard materials.
System Requirements
- Pre-treatment to remove moisture and contaminants.
- Corrosion-resistant compressor internals.
- Reliable operation for continuous gas collection.
Applications
- Gas engine power generation.
- Flare systems and gas destruction.
- Upgrading to pipeline-quality gas.
What are siloxanes and why do they matter?
Siloxanes are silicon compounds in landfill gas that form hard deposits in engines, so pre-treatment is essential.
