Biogas – Case Study

December 2020 – Biogas Case Study

Location: Medora, Indiana

Customer: Archaea Energy

Employees: 65

Industry: Renewable Energy

Project Type: Biogas

Equipment Type: Blower and Flare Skid Package

Executive Summary: Gulf Coast Environmental Systems was tasked with finding a solution that would assist with VOC abatement and biogas processing at a landfill in Medora, Indiana.

Customer Summary: This customer, Archaea Energy, is a long-standing partner to GCES, purchasing multiple solutions to support their landfill applications which processes the landfill biogas into clean Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Founded by landfill owners and technology developers in the energy sector, they partner with other landfills to harness the power of their biogas. They source, build, and manage projects through the entire lifecycle of the project. GCES has been supporting Archaea in this goal since 2018 with several sites already operational and many more in development across the US. Archaea chose GCES to assist in the creation of these landfill gas to energy plants because of our extensive background in waste to energy projects with nearly 500 units currently in operation.

biogas industriesProject Summary: Potentially dangerous gases like methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfides, and ammonia are created by the decomposition and evaporation of organic compounds as well as chemical reactions between waste components. These gases and other hydrocarbons are often considered greenhouse gases and play a huge role in global warming. According to the EPA, in the United States landfills are the third most prevalent source of methane and other greenhouse gases. When condensed into a small space, methane is considered an explosive gas and should be handled with extreme caution. While a minimal amount of oxygen is present in this particular stream of waste gas which eliminates risk of the process concentration becoming combustible, it is important to note that the methane is still highly flammable. However, poorly designed or maintained landfills run the risk of higher levels of oxygen entrainment leading to elevated danger and uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions. [Read more…]

Is Your Facility Ready For Winter?

Winterization of Equipment

Gulf Coast Environmental Systems’ Aftermarket & Field Service team work year round to ensure our customer’s equipment is running at peak performance. Lack of regular maintenance and attention can be costly and dangerous, running the potential risk of fires, explosions, prolonged shutdowns, and regulatory fines.

equipment winterization As the weather begins to change, and temperatures begin to drop, there are a number of steps many facilities will need to take to prepare their equipment for the cold weather. Some of the risks of not properly winterizing equipment are:

  • Instrumentation and equipment damage from water freezing and expanding
  • Broken and ruptured pipes, caused from the sudden drop in temperature
  • Delayed leaks, not found until the weather starts to warm, and the equipment defrosts
  • Alteration in chemical processes, caused by freezing or condensation exposure
  • Clogged process piping

Corporate Social Responsibility and Pollution Control

corporate social responsibility and pollution controlCorporate social responsibility (CSR) became popular during the 1980’s and has continued to remain a pillar of corporate structure. Gulf Coast Environmental Systems (GCES) serves as an integral part of many organizations with pollution control as a component of their CSR policy. In this article we will review how to develop a CSR, the advantages and disadvantages of publishing a CSR policy and how to effectively communicate your organizations CSR to improve community relations and public perceptions.

The Value of Carbon Dioxide

What is Carbon Dioxide?carbon dioxide

Carbon Dioxide is one of the most commonly found gases on earth. Its chemical formula is CO2, meaning it is comprised of one carbon atom covalently double bounded two oxygen atoms. CO2  is incombustible, colorless, and in the typical exposure concentrations, odorless gas, that is also water soluble. Carbon dioxide is the result of oxidization of carbon.

Where is Carbon Dioxide Found?

Carbon dioxide comes from both natural and anthropogenic sources, and is necessary for all living things.

Natural: Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring compound, that is released when living organisms respire or decompose. Carbon dioxide is also naturally released into the atmosphere by the oceans, volcanos, forest fires, and carbonate rocks. Natural sources, like these, produce more carbon dioxide than anthropogenic sources.

Anthropogenic: The sources of CO2 that get the most attention are anthropogenic, meaning human-initiated or created. These sources are a part of everyday life for most people, and are unavoidable in most cases. These human activities include transportation, power and heat generation, chemical and petrochemical production and use, fossil fuel use, manufacturing, agriculture, food production, etc… The carbon dioxide produced by the harvesting and use of fossil fuels gets the most attention as a contributor to climate change. Recently, the oil and gas industries have started taking significant steps to curb their CO2 emissions. [Read more…]
