The U.S. EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) is pleased to inform its Partners and other interested stakeholders about a new LMOP resource related to landfill gas (LFG) collection systems. LMOP has developed two new chapters for the program’s LFG Energy Project Development Handbook (PDH):
- Chapter 7. Best Practices for Landfill Gas Collection System Design and Installation provides information on site-specific factors that influence the design of a gas collection system and discusses a variety of collection component options to help operators minimize surface emissions and system downtime.
- Chapter 8. Best Practices for Landfill Gas Collection System Operation and Maintenance presents information on managing liquids in a gas collection system, wellhead monitoring and health and safety considerations to help operators achieve a safe and functional system.
These new chapters are available online individually and as part of the full PDH document. All the PDH chapters are described at www.epa.gov/lmop/landfill-gas-energy-project-development-handbook
EDIT (4/21/2020): The files are available for download at www.epa.gov/lmop/landfill-gas-energy-project-development-handbook-files.
