ACUA Landfill Gas to Energy Project

The ACUA Landfill Gas to Energy Project is a greenfield development project. The project was developed by AC Landfill Energy LLC, a partnership between DCO Energy, LLC and Marina Energy, LLC. The project utilizes landfill gas to fuel a reciprocating engine generator set that produces electric power. DCO is providing business development, project development, project management, and construction management services. The project is scheduled to be placed in service by the end of December 2004. This energy project conforms to the requirements of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities Renewable Energy Advanced Program.

The project is located at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority's (ACUA) municipal solid waste landfill in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The plant is environmentally beneficial due to the reduction of greenhouse gases and decreased dependence on fossil fuels.

The initial 1.6MW unit is producing approximately 11,000,000 kWh of electric energy. Approximately 2,000,000 kWh will be sold to the ACUA. The remaining 9,000,000 kWh will be sold to the electric wholesale market through the PJM Power Pool. This site is designed for a total installed capacity of 6.4 MW.

DCO personnel are operating and maintaining the project on behalf of the partnership. DCO also is responsible for operating and maintaining the gas collection and control system under a separate contract with ACUA.

Resorts Atlantic City

DCO Energy, LLC has virtually reconstructed the thermal production facilities for Resorts Atlantic City on behalf of the owner, Marina Energy. Resorts, one of the original casino locations in Atlantic City, had exceeded the useful life of much of its production equipment and had not modernized or updated the internal distribution systems for quite some time.

DCO has replaced all of the required chilling capacity, added variable frequency drives to chillers, pumps and cooling towers, and has completely updated the monitoring and control systems. It is expected that efficiency and available capacity will be greatly improved. DCO will be operating the facility based on the 20-year contractual agreement now in place.

Resorts Atlantic City has now begun the expansion of the property with the construction of a new 500-room hotel tower, which is included in the contract for thermal services. With the addition of new capacity for the expansion, much of the old distribution system, including three way valves, will be improved and replaced with new equipment.

This project is an excellent example of using outsourcing to an advantage. Resorts has benefited by leveraging the knowledge and experience of DCO, transferring risk to an energy provider and dedicating its own capital to property expansion while the energy provider made all of the plant and system improvements.

Seneca Niagara Falls Casino

The Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) includes a system designed to meet the electric load required by the Casino. The system operates in parallel with the electric utility grid, so that during generator outages or peak electrical demands in excess of the cogeneration plant capacity, the utility will provide backup power for the casino complex.

The plant utilizes three (3) 2000 kW (nominal) natural gas fueled reciprocating engine generator sets. The engines are equipped for recovery of waste heat from the engine jacket water system. The jacket water leaving the engine is directed to heat exchangers, where it is used to preheat the boiler feedwater. The engine cooling system is controlled by a thermostatic control valve, which maintains engine cooling water temperature at its design condition under all operating conditions.

The engine exhaust emissions meet SOTA air quality requirements through the use of low emissions engine technology, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system and CO catalysts.

The system has an integrated monitoring and control system for the generator set, and electric interconnect with the plant bus. The gas engine generator set control console is free-standing and includes engine control, engine protection and generator protection systems. The system is fully electronic and includes sequencing, alarm and shutdown communication, and readout of critical parameters.

All systems for the engine generator will be monitored and controlled by a digital control system incorporating programmable logic controllers (PLC's) and/or distributed controllers. The system is capable of trending and performing historical data storage. Redundant controllers and uninterruptible power supplies are provided in critical areas to maximize and assure control system availability.

The cogeneration plant was designed to generate power at 480 volts, and the plant includes a switchgear lineup to distribute power at the appropriate voltage. The switchgear include a new fused disconnect switch section, a circuit breaker feed to the existing facility switchgear, a generator circuit breaker and the with necessary paralleling and protection equipment.

The Olinda Landfill Gas-To-Energy Project will take landfill gas extracted from a series of wells at the landfill and use that gas in state-of-the-art combustion turbine-generators (CTGs) to make electricity for sale to the local electric grid. In addition, the exhaust from the CTGs will produce steam from waste heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), which will power a state-of the art steam turbine-generator (STG) making additional electricity for the local electric grid. Utilizing landfill gas in this manner reduces dependence on other natural resources, and improves air quality and carbon emissions.

In addition the equipment noted previously, the facility includes gas blowers for the collection of the landfill gas, two stage gas booster / compression systems, gas treatment (Siloxane removal) system, high voltage electrical distribution equipment, 66Kv switchyard, and related subsystems to produce the electric power and steam stated above.
