Our Experience

    Every landfill gas operator in the U.S. is now faced with addressing the issue of the gas produced by the landfill during the decomposition of
    organic matter residing in the landfill. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set emission limits and thresholds for the landfill industry. When exceeded, landfill gas must be controlled (collected or flared) and may no longer be vented to the atmosphere.

    Landfill gas is typically composed of 50% methane (CH4) and 50% carbon dioxide (CO2). Many landfills in North America have already been required to install a gas gathering system to collect or flare the gas rather than allowing it to vent to the atmosphere. Typically, this collection system consists of wells bored into the landfill to capture and route the gas to a gas handling system. From the wells, Cimarron’s blower packages route landfill gas to either be destroyed by Cimarron flares, or to be further processed for other beneficial uses.

    LANDFILL GAS SECONDARY AND ADVANCED TREATMENT
    In secondary treatment applications, landfill gas may be utilized to power gas engines or turbine driven generator packages. These systems create electricity to supplement onsite electrical needs or to be sold to the power grid. In advanced treatment applications, gas plants process the gas (through membrane systems, chemical systems, or pressure-swing absorption systems) creating pipeline quality methane (biomethane) for beneficial uses including pipeline injection and
    vehicle fueling. Depending on the use of the gas, Cimarron designs and builds various flare and compression systems to handle the gas plant’s needs. These systems can handle a variety of gas pressures and compositions covering everything from low to high BTU applications. Cimarron’s standard equipment can be customized to handle any specifications or requirements.

    EQUIPMENT DESIGNED FOR CHALLENGING CONDITIONS
    Landfill gas units must be designed to combat the destructive effects of a water saturated, high carbon dioxide (CO2) gas stream. As required, Cimarron units are equipped with HDPE (HighDensity Polyethylene) or stainless-steel piping, knock out pots, and valve trims to handle the corrosive nature of the gas. In addition, Cimarron provides mist eliminators, knockout pots, dehydrators and various other liquid condensing equipment to remove water vapor from the gas stream. Despite sophisticated controls, all Cimarron units are designed for ease of maintenance, and years of trouble-free service.

    GAS FLARING
    Because not all the gas generated by a landfill can be captured, Cimarron also has an array of flare and thermal oxidizer solutions to prevent venting methane to the atmosphere. Flaring devices are needed as a backup emergency solution when the gas plant is down (e.g. during planned maintenance). Thermal oxidizers are required to destroy tail gas that is not captured by the gas plant. Cimarron offers various flare and thermal oxidizer solutions ranging from 98 to 99.99% destruction and removal efficiency (DRE). All flares and thermal oxidizers systems are designed to handle your challenging gas and environmental conditions.

    FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY / AGRICULTURE
    Many segments within the food and beverage industry are becoming more and more attuned to reducing their carbon footprint. From food processing plants to regional breweries, gas recovery and flaring solutions from Cimarron are an efficient way of maintaining environmental compliance or integrating with energy recovery programs to power a facility.

    Cimarron has extensive experience capturing biogas emissions from brewery operations. The methane gas produced by the fermentation process is captured and directed to electric generators. These electric generators are then utilized to provide power for a significant percentage of the brewery.

    On the other hand, farms across America are discovering that the gases produced from the organic waste of livestock are not only harmful to the environment, but they can also be a missed opportunity to fuel the facility. Through the capture and/or flaring of methane, agricultural facilities are able to reduce their carbon footprints, meet or exceed government regulations and/or integrate with energy recapture programs for the facility
