TRANSFORMING LOW-BTU LANDFILL GAS INTO CLEAN ONSITE POWER
Today, multiple landfill sites producing low quality gas with a methane content below 30% are taking advantage of Ener-Core’s
technology to effectively deal with low methane gas – even as low as 1.5% by volume.
Ener-Core’s Power Oxidation technology can effectively convert impure gases with low energy densities into a form which can
be processed by gas turbines to produce electricity and heat.

The Ener-Core Powerstation is an ideal solution, transforming previously unusable low-energy gas into a source of onsite
electricity using gradual oxidation technology whereby sufficient heat is released to drive the turbine.

TRANSFORMING LOW-BTU LANDFILL GAS INTO CLEAN ONSITE POWER
The Ener-Core Power Oxidizer Powerstations are the only
power generation solution which runs directly on low
pressure, low quality gases which typically cannot be utilized
or even flared. By integrating thermal oxidation with proven
turbines, the system consumes the widest range of gases
from 100% to as low as 1.5% methane.
• Features And Benefits
· Near zero NOx emissions
· Meets stringent environmental standards
· The widest possible range of fuel concentrations
· Minimal fuel conditioning

TRANSFORMING LOW-BTU LANDFILL GAS INTO CLEAN ONSITE POWER
Is your landfill ideal for an Ener-Core Powerstation? It may be if it has several of the following:
THE NEED
Low quality gas from:
• Active landfills with diversion programs
• Old or closed landfills with decaying methane production
• Reciprocating engine or flare no longer operating or needing supplemental fuel
• Tail gas from landfill-gas-to-pipeline processing plants or biogas conditioning
Emissions concerns or emissions in non-attainment
• Mitigate air pollution, generate power cleanly, or get permission within a non-attainment region
Landfill gas collection with continuous supply of gas
• Flares are currently in place, and gas is being flared or vented continuously
Demand for power or access or utility grid to sell power
• Offset high retail electricity prices

Closed Army Base landfill with
varying methane quality ranging
from 15-30%. A successful
demonstration of Ener-Core
efficacy.
Closed landfill with below 30%
methane; past problems with
reciprocating engines running
inconsistently. This 250kW system
was successfully installed in 2014.
250kW Powerstation EC250 to
be installed in 2016 allowing
Orange County Waste &
Recycling to generate clean
electricity from a gas that is
currently being flared.
