Manaus Landfill Gas Project

The Manaus Landfill Gas Project has been developed at the Manaus Landfill (Site), originally called the Aterro Municipal de Manaus. The Site has received non-hazardous solid municipal, industrial, commercial, institutional, and some agricultural wastes for approximately 20 years. Landfills normally emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into the atmosphere, with these compounds being generated by the anaerobic decomposition of the above-noted wastes placed at the project site. Prior to the implementation of the Project, the Manaus landfill was basically a landfill with has minimal control of surface water and leachate and no control of landfill gas (LFG). The purpose of the project activity is to collect landfill gas (LFG) at the Manaus Landfill and to combust the extracted LFG over a seven year-period, using a high efficient enclosed flare, thereby generating electricity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The project involved the construction of a LFG collection system consisting of horizontal trenches and vertical LFG extraction wells, centrifugal blower(s), and all other supporting mechanical and electrical subsystems and appurtenances necessary to collect the LFG. The LFG collected from the site is combusted in an enclosed LFG flare with full process controls and instrumentation installed and operating. The state-of-the-art flare is capable of providing sufficient temperature and retention time of the extracted LFG for complete destruction of hydrocarbons.
