At 180 <br />standard cubic feet per minute (scfm), landfill <br />gas (LFG) is pumped from the adjacent H.O.D. <br />Landfill (a former Superfund site) to twelve <br />Capstone microturbines. This powerful project <br />earned LMOP's Project of the Year in 2003. <br />The microturbines provide heat and power to <br />the 262,000 square foot high school, making it the first school in the United States to be <br />heated and powered using LFG. The system produces enough electricity (360 kW) to sell <br />excess to ComEd, while recovering heat from the microturbines to heat the school. The <br />school expects to save more than $100,000 in energy costs every year. Taking only 18 <br />months from grant application to completion, the project shows how diverse parties can <br />come together to succeed. <br />http://v<,ww.epa. gov/landfill/proj /prof/profile/antiochcommunityhighschoo.htm <br />6/8/2009 <br /> <br />~~ N j <br />S <br />~ i.MIDP A1AlAVft[3 <br />WINNER ,. <br />
