Evaluation test on a landfill gas-fired internal-combustion-engine system at the City of Glendale No. 1 Scholl Canyon Power Plant. Air pollution test report

Technical Report · Tue Jul 01 04:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:6329935

A cooperative test program was conducted from January 28 through January 31, 1986, by Air Resources Board (ARB) and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) staff to evaluate the gaseous constituents from untreated landfill gas used to fuel an internal combustion engine (ICE) and the emissions from that ICE located at the City of Glendale Scholl Canyon Power Plant. The ICE was fueled with gases generated by the anaerobic decomposition of buried refuse at the No. 1 Scholl Canyon Landfill operated by the City of Glendale, Public Service Department. The test was conducted as part of an ongoing program by the SCAQMD to allow assessment of the inlet fuel gas (landfill gas) and exhaust gas characteristics from such devices as ICEs, gas turbines, and flares. Emissions of criteria pollutants as determined from test data are reported. Mass flow rates and destruction and removal efficiencies (DRE's) of non-criteria pollutants compounds determined from SCAQMD bag sample test data and mass flow rates and DRE's for chlorinated and aromatic compounds determined from data from ARB resin samples are presented.
