Case Studies

Superfund

For a closed superfund municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill, American Environmental Group LTD’s (AEGL) Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Division has provided numerous services. The site’s active collection systems include 26 LFG extraction wells, one LFG blower/flare skid, and 22 leachate removal pumping systems.

Additionally, AEGL performs site and cap inspections, explosive gas monitoring in permanent LFG monitoring probes, and preventative maintenance.

AEGL’s expert staff draws upon not only its own extensive experience but can utilize the insight of AEGL’s 400+ person national team and its sister divisions that focus on Landfill Gas Systems construction and Geosynthetics supply and installation.

MSW Landfill Closure

Since 2004, American Environmental Group LTD’s (AEGL) Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Division has provided routine, non-routine, and non-routine emergency operations, maintenance, monitoring, and data management services for a closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in Ohio.

This site exemplifies the range of O&M services provided by this key AEGL Division. It is also significant that after years of successful site management AEGL is now working with the facility owner to develop a landfill gas to energy (LFGTE) system.

Harnessing LFG Energy

For a gas compression and conditioning facility, American Environmental Group LTD’s (AEGL) Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Division has played a key role the development of a landfill gas to energy project (LFGTE) that recovers LFG from an area landfill and sells it to a major, regional gas company. The facility compresses the recovered LFG and conditions the gas to a pipeline-grade product.  The conditioned gas is blended into the gas company’s gas distribution system and sold to the general public.

AEGL has been contracted by the compression and conditioning facility to perform gas conditioning filter change outs—a critical stage in this type of LFGTE system.

The nature of this work is as-needed and is often required with little advance notice.
