Live Oak Landfill Gas to Energy Facility

The Live Oak plant is designed to process 7,000 standard cubic feet per minute of raw landfill gas.

 


The Live Oak Landfill is a large, closed landfill located in the southeastern Atlanta metro area. Due to air emission restrictions, power generation was not an option. There were no large industrial users close to the site to take in the large volumes of medium BTU gas. A landfill gas to pipeline-quality project was the best solution.

Energy Systems Group provided well-field improvements, gas processing design, engineering, construction management, and operational staff for this plant. Some of the benefits include:

  • Well-field evaluation to determine maximum gas production
  • Experienced engineering and design staff select appropriate gas cleanup technology
  • Provided contract support for agreement with local gas distribution company
  • Provided well-field training to landfill owner’s staff

Inside the Live Oak Landfill Gas to Energy Facility

 

The Live Oak facility will significantly improve the local community air quality by reducing the carbon dioxide – greenhouse gas – emissions by the equivalent of removing more than 108,000 vehicles from the roads or planting more than 134,500 acres of forest. (Source: LMOP)
