Solid-waste and biomass low-Btu gas-conversion-system program. Topical report, Task 2. Site selection and analysis

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6299660
The purpose of this program is to test 2 low Btu gas turbines at Glendale's Scholl Canyon Landfill and Los Angeles' Hyperion Waste Water Treatment Plant. Each of these sites is unique and different in terms of the gas generation and collection systems. Glendale's Scholl Canyon Sanitary Landfill is in the process of being converted into a recreational park with a golf course, tennis courts, and a clubhouse. The gas wells are located in the golf course area of the landfill. The Hyperion plant generates gas by the digesting of sewage sludge. The purpose of this task is to perform a site definition and test program analysis. The goal of the site definition is to provide: (1) the specific details of the turbine location and required electrical and gas interfaces for each test site; and (2) the test plan to be used in task 8. In addition, a review of necessary permits, licenses, or other approvals required by federal, state and local authorities, including all environmental requirements was made. Finally a determination was made of any local ordinances or state statutes that must be revised to operate and test the proposed turbogenerator. These topics relating to site selection and analysis are discussed. The appendix contains an Air Pollution Source Manual. (DMC)
