Landfill gas from waste disposal sites
With our specific knowledge of landfill gas, we help operators of both existing as well as new landfill gas plants to operate their sites effective and economically efficient. Don’t hesitate to contact us, we're always here to help: We’ll help get the most out of it.
Formation and treatment of landfill gas
Over the course of 15 to 20 years, approximately 100 to 200 m³ of landfill gas is generated from one ton of household waste, with a methane content of about 55%. This landfill gas is produced by the biochemical decomposition of organic material within the waste. This gas mainly consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the gas also contains harmful organic silicon compounds (siloxanes), which can lead to deposits in CHP systems if burned untreated. Find out more about the methane phases in the decomposition process of landfill gas in our FAQ section.
The economical way to use landfill gases
For years, our customers have relied on our market-leading filter solutions and our high-quality gas conditioing and gas drying installations to treat landfill gas effectively and economically. The optimal interaction of our systems is different for each customer and each plant. Rely on over 25 years of experience and expertise in the market and call us - or arrange a non-binding consultation appointment.
Product overview
Activated carbon from SILOXA is suitable for biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas
You can rely on SILOXA’s activated carbon to effectively clean your biogas, sewage gas, and landfill gas. With more than 10 different types of activated carbon, we are specialists in defining the right carbon for your specific application. Let us help you run your gas cleaning plant efficiently and profitably.
We recommend a simple gas analysis to check the exact gas contamination—this helps us to better serve you. Let us establish how much your gas is contaminated with hydrogen sulfide (H2S), siloxane, and VOCs, and together we will find the right activated carbon for your needs.
