Landfill gas is generated when refuse in landfills decomposes. The gas is composed of approximately 50% methane with the remaining constituents consisting primarily of carbon dioxide along with oxygen, nitrogen and other volatile organic gases. The construction of LFG collection systems normally begins with the drilling and installation of wells, followed by the installation of pipelines, and the construction of gas compressor stations, flaring stations, and scrubbing and treatment stations. Collection systems for landfill gas are designed to prevent the migration of methane and other gases into the atmosphere and into adjacent structures or properties where they represent risks of explosion, fire, and/or health hazards. LFG recovered from landfills is either flared or developed as an alternative energy source. The primary construction activities that American Environmental Group, Ltd. engages in while installing LFG recovery systems are: Landfill Gas Extraction Well Drilling
