ELECTRICITY FROM LANDFILL GAS: NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR AN INDUSTRIAL APPROACH

Objectif

the aim of the project is to generate a significant amount of electricity from a non fossil fuel (landfill gas) while meeting the same requirements as gas or fuel electric power plant :definite guarantee, over 10 years, to deliver 10 MW of electric power with an availability of 95%.
The erection of an innovative power plant in the suburb of Paris, will demonstrate that electricity generation based on landfill gas can be rationalised and treated as an industrial energy project financially self-supported, leading to substantial primary energy saving (34000 TOE/year) together with real environmental protection.L%

This project is designed for important controlled landfill site receiving more than 350000 tons of waste per year. The plant, operating at a nominal load of 45 thermic MW, will use at least 9200Nm3/h of landfill gas equivalent to 4600 I/h of heavy fuel and 34000 TOE/Y.
Within the plant, the landfill gas will be fired in two similar burner/boiler systems which will generate 60 tons/h of superheated steam. Steam will then be let through a high efficiency, multi-staged, steam turbine-alternator. The installed power at the output of the alternator will be 11 MW.
One of the specificity of the project is to designed for an overall availability of 95% over a 10 year period leading to an electricity production of 10 MW also guaranteed over 10 years. The minimum annual electricity production will thus be as important as 82800 MWh. The generated electricity will then be fed at 20 kV in the Electricite de France distribution network.
The technical innovations, on which the project is based, consist in an innovative burner-boiler system which allow a constant steam production in spite of unavoidable small variations of the landfill gas extracted in term of flow rate and calorific power.Thanks to an elaborated monitoring and control system, the burner system is able to compensate these fluctuations by simultaneously burning heavy fuel whenever it appears necessary. Moreover, the boiler is protected against corrosion and easy to maintain. EDF has an obligation to buy electricity from independent suppliers for project where non fossil fuel (such as landfill gas) represents more than 90% of the energy input. For this reason the use of heavy fuel will be limited to 10% of the energy input. In fact,
preliminary studies showed that the need for heavy fuel will probably be between 0% and 5%.
