Quarry Landfill Update for September 22, 2023

Posted on September 22, 2023 at 11:55 AM by Joey Lamie

Crews installed 13 Blackhawk pumps in select vertical gas extraction wells to remove condensate and leachate from the wells this week.  The vertical gas extraction pipe in the quarry landfill, which leads to the temporary flare, was also upgraded from a 6-inch diameter to a 12-inch diameter pipe to allow for greater condensate management and to increase the gas flow to the temporary flare.

Quarry Landfill Update for September 8, 2023.

Crews continued installing lateral pipes in the quarry landfill to the remaining stainless-steel vertical gas and liquid extraction wells.  Additional valves are also being installed into the gas collection system, which will allow for the diversion of the combustible gas to either the permanent or temporary flare.  This week's progress also included further tuning of the vacuum on the gas wells for optimal gas management and collection.
