OLINDA WASTE TO ENERGY PLANT

The Olinda project takes landfill gas extracted from a series of wells at the landfill and uses that gas in state-of-the-art combustion turbine generators to make electricity for sale to the local electric grid. The project is located at the Orange County Waste Recovery, third largest landfill to energy project in the country.

• The landfill gas-to-energy project utilizes landfill gas to reduce dependence on other natural resources and improves air quality and carbon emissions.
• DCO was EPC for project that utilizes a combined cycle plant to generate electricity.
• Major Equipment: Solar Turbine Taurus 60 Units (4), Dresser-Rand Steam Turbine Generator, Rentech Waste Heat Recovery Units (4), Venture Engineering Siloxane Removal System
• Facility includes gas blowers for the collection of the landfill gas, two stage booster/compression systems, gas treatment (Siloxane removal) system, high voltage electrical distribution, 66 kV switchyard and related subsystems to produce electric power and steam.
• 27.8 MW Electricity, 92,072 lbs/hr HRSG
