STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS SUMMARY OF PROJECTS WM Renewable Energy—LFGTE Complex Process Evaluation PROJECT SCOPE Venture Engineering & Construction was contracted to provide, under its Master Service Agreement, a process review of the existing Altamont Landfill Gas to Energy complex. The study was intended to identify potential process improvements to reduce or eliminate the need to burn supplemental fuel at the existing enclosed flare [which is used to control the off-gases (tail gas) from the new LFG to LNG plant), as well as to evaluate potential improvements to the overall functionality of the facility with respect to gas utilization as it impacts the existing engine gensets and LNG plant. A new LFG to LNG plant was built and became operational in September 2009 (Medal Membrane/Guild/Linde). This was the third LFG to Energy asset located at the Altamont Landfill. The facility also includes LFG to electricity production via a turbine plant and an IC engine plant, in addition to the new LFG to LNG facility. The LNG plant had performed fairly well, following minor process control changes made during commissioning. However, since it became operational, the facility had experienced various LFG “balancing” issues that resulted in non-steady state operation of the previously installed assets. Namely, electricity production was significantly curtailed because of the level of excessive raw LFG usage at the enclosed flare to combust the tail gas from the new LNG plant. This drastically reduced the total energy output at the facility, and revenues were down significantly from projections. Study Results
