Coastal Park landfill gas flaring project, South Africa
Name of the Project
Coastal Park landfill gas flaring project.
Location
Coastal Park landfill facility, in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.
Client
City of Cape Town Department of Solid Waste Management.
Project Description
Organic matter disposed of in landfills decompose anaerobically in the absence of oxygen, and form a landfill biogas that is rich in methane. Methane is a highly combustible gas that can be collected and used as a fuel in industry to generate electricity or as a fuel for vehicles.
The city intends using the energy largely as a fuel for the generation of electricity.
The project will destroy the methane in the landfill, which has a global warming potential about 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. The system comprises a wellfield comprising a combination of vertical and horizontal wells, well heads, condensate traps, pipelines, gas blowers, measuring instrumentation and a gas flare.
