ICT's Zemel Road Landfill Project was awarded Project of the Year by the EPA's 15th Annual LMOP Conference and Project Expo.
The EPA’s Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) recognizes select Partners for excellence in innovation and creativity, success in promoting project development, and achieving environmental and economic benefits. These award-winning projects and companies contribute to job creation and provide energy savings and green power generation.
To ensure this project’s economic viability, developer Lime Energy found creative ways to cut capital and operations costs and also supplement revenue by selling engine waste heat to convert sludge into a commercial product. Project partners overcame the challenge of high LFG hydrogen sulfide levels by implementing an innovative, cost-efficient BioGasclean system, the first U.S. LFG application of this technology. The team also worked diligently with Florida Power & Light to devise an alternative route to connect to the grid that both avoided a protected wildlife area and reduced the construction schedule by more than six months. In October 2011, the project began generating 2.8 MW via two GE-Jenbacher engines that are able to meet stringent carbon monoxide emission requirements. Total generation capacity is expected to be increased to 4.2MW by 2013. |
