Laurel Highlands Landfill Methane Recovery
Project
Laurel Highlands Landfill is located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania near the Town of Vintondale. The landfill is owned and operated by Waste Management, Inc. (Waste Management). The project was purchased by Leaf LFG US Investments, Inc. in November 2008.
This high-BTU project began commercial operation in July 2006. Compression and an Air Liquide-Medal Biogaz Membrane System deliver 970 BTU gas through a 1.8-mile pipeline to a local public utility's natural gas distribution system. This plant was designed to process 3,000 scfm of raw LFG. While Keystone operated this plant, it produced about 1,400 to 1,500 MCF per day. Keystone operated this plant until September 30, 2009 at which time the new owner assumed operating control.
