01 · Gas field management
Correct management of your upstream gas source is the single most important aspect of a successful project.
Renew specialises in landfill, sewage, mine and biogas applications. Our landfill team brings over three decades of experience in gas extraction and leachate collection, including pioneering horizontal gas well technology at the Bisasar Road Landfill, which offers a capital-cost advantage and starts extracting gas far earlier than conventional vertical wells.
What we do
- Operate, tune and optimise gas fields to maximise yield without drawing in air
- Consult on the correct management of any gas source
- Design extraction and delivery systems with correct pipe falls, condensate management and controlled pressure loss
- Keep the whole project in view, from gas principles and safety to the end user’s needs
02 · Gas analysis
Know what is in the gas before you commit to a plant.
Before you can undertake a gas-to-energy project it is important to understand the gas composition and which elements must be considered when planning your plant layout. Renew is experienced and equipped to undertake detailed gas analyses to establish landfill gas or biogas composition in order to provide practical and effective solutions for gas cleaning, chilling and upgrading to meet end-use requirements.
Typical survey
- Methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen balance
- Hydrogen sulphide, ammonia and siloxane loading
- Moisture content and dew point
- Flow and pressure at each extraction point
- Continuous gas analysis systems for permanent installations
03 · Monitoring & CDM compliance
Every cubic metre destroyed, verified.
Renew supplies CDM-compliant flaring and gas extraction equipment with the proper instrument certification for Clean Development Mechanism and Joint Implementation projects, plus continuous gas analysis systems. We then help you run the project so that the emission reductions can be sold.
Consultation and monitoring
- Establishment of a monitoring system based on the Project Design Document (PDD)
- Quality assurance of the CDM project
- Plant performance reviews and consultations to ensure methodology and PDD compliance
- Establishing a recognised SCADA system for efficient plant operation
- Data trending, instrument reliability monitoring and overall plant monitoring including heat-rate testing
Emission reduction calculations
- Raw data download, interrogation and manipulation
- Final calculation of monthly emission reductions for sale to the agreed buyer
- All in line with the PDD and the adopted methodology
