Georgia RNG facility to be sold

A landfill gas (LFG) to renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at the Seminole Road Landfill in Ellenwood, Georgia, is required to be moved. Dekalb County, Georgia, has transferred the landfill gas rights for commercial purposes.

ARC Technologies Corp., the manufacturer of the complete biogas treatment and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) upgrading system, says it will offer relocation assistance, documentation, software and support during the buyer’s startup phase to reinstate the facility at a new project location.

The technology features a capacity of 1,500 standard cubic feet per minute for inlet flow and can operate at elevated levels of nitrogen with high methane recovery. ARC Technologies says the patented system ran successfully for more than five years at the DeKalb County Renewable Fuels Facility before being decommissioned when the LFG was slated for electricity generation.

ARC Technologies says the buyer may also obtain underlying intellectual property, designs for multiple RNG facilities and 12 worldwide supporting patents.

The Renewable Fuels Facility was recognized in 2013 for landfill gas energy achievements though the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Landfill Methane Outreach Program. At the time of the award, RNG from the facility was delivered into the nearby Atlanta Gas Light pipeline, while the rest was dried and compressed to become renewable compressed natural gas, which was dispensed to county vehicles at an onsite fueling station.
