M&I Electric supplies power distribution system for landfill gas project

M&I Electric, Beaumont, Texas, has recently been selected to provide a turnkey power delivery solution for a land fill gas reclamation project in the U.S.

M&I will provide a Power Distribution Center with medium voltage switchgear, medium voltage motor controllers, low voltage motor control centers (MCC), transformers and other ancillary power distribution equipment.

The high British thermal unit landfill gas project is being deployed at a regional recycling and waste facility in the Midwest United States that provides disposal services for communities, businesses and industries serving. Instead of the landfill gas being disposed of and wasted via flaring, it will be transported via a pipeline and beneficially sold to an external party.

“We are pleased to have been selected for this important landfill gas project with a leading international independent provider of comprehensive energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions," says Charles Dauber, president and CEO, American Electric Technologies, M&I’s parent company based in Houston. "This project exemplifies our mission of empowering energy and continues to show our progress in delivering customized, turnkey solutions for challenging energy industry project.”

M&I expects delivery of this project to occur in the first quarter of 2017. Additional details were not disclosed.
