I <br />I Involved I <br />At 23 miles, the WM-to-Honeywell pipeline could be the longest dedicated landfill gas <br />(LFG) pipeline in the world. To cover the distance, developers navigated approval of three <br />municipalities and seven agencies, acquired 10 miles of private right-of-way, and installed <br />the pipeline during unprecedented rains-and that was after convincing the Virginia <br />legislature to allow LFG to be sold in Virginia. <br />Once LFG arrived at Honeywell, engineers faced a new challenge. The LFG, which <br />contains oxygen, when mixed with an existing hydrogen-containing fuel stream, could <br />create a potentially explosive mixture. Engineers spent 11 weeks on a supercomputer to <br />define operating parameters. Finally, they installed a monitoring system that automatically <br />shuts off the system if the mixture is too oxygen-rich. <br />The project's highlights include the following: <br />• Contains 23-mile pipeline-could be longest dedicated LFG pipeline in world. <br />• Has LFG capacity of 14,000 scfm. <br />. Connects one of the largest landfills east of the Mississippi River to the largest <br />natural gas consumer east of the Mississippi River. <br />• Displaces about 15 percent of natural gas consumption. <br />. Utilizes LFG in direct LFG-fired engines to turn LFG screw compressors. <br />http://www.epa.gov/landfill/proj/prof/profile/honeywelllfgenergyproj ect.htm <br />In addition to being the LMOP 2004 Project of the Year, Honeywell received a Governor's <br />6/8/2009 <br /> <br />
