Utilization of Landfill Gas for a Vehicle Fuel System: Rossman's Landfill, Clackamas County, Oregon. Feasibility Study

摘要

The areas addressed in this feasibility study include: landfill gas yield and collection, including an estimate of production rates, a prediction of methane yield versus time, and development of a conceptual gas-gathering system; gas processing, compressing, and storage, including a review of current state-of-the-art and relevant case histories, development of alternative processing options, selection of an optimum system, and conceptual design; and methane-fueled vehicle systems, involving review of the state-of-the-art and evaluation of case histories, development of alternative fuel systems, and final selection of the optimum system. Cost estimates are included as an integral part of each area of study. Presented also is a summary of total project costs and economic feasibility. (ERA citation 08:029851)
