Plant Description -This landfill gas to energy plant is located adjacent to the Palo Alto Landfill in Palo Alto, California. It produces electricity for sale to PG&E. The 2100 kW plant is powered by two 12 cylinder lean burn gas engines. The two Waukesha 7042GL engines utilize landfill gas as their primary fuel. Natural gas is blended with the landfill gas as necessary for efficiency and flame stabilization. The landfill to energy plant was designed and constructed by Waukesha-Pearce Industries. The units started up in 1990. IPT Services Provided - International Power Technology (IPT) was contracted in 1993 to take over operations and maintenance of the landfill to energy facility. IPT's initial task was to refurbish the equipment and eliminate the root causes of prior operational difficulties. Engines, controls and instruments have been reconditioned with |
the objective of restoring optimal thermodynamic and economic performance. IPT manages all maintenance at the facility. All operating staff are employees of IPT and are trained and directed by
IPT. Other services IPT provides to the project include regulatory monitoring, condensate treatment, gas collection system assistance and project management.
IPT Experience - IPT is an energy company offering a broad range of services to parties interested in cogeneration, independent power, and thermal energy production. IPT activities can be tailored to the specific needs of a facility. |
