MV Technologies, a subsidiary of Strategic Environmental & Energy Resources Inc., (SEER) Golden, Colorado, has secured purchase orders for its H2SPlus System at a New Jersey landfill and a landfill project in Massachusetts. The two purchase orders have an initial value of $1.4 million and bring MV's total installed base of H2SPlus Systems at landfills to 14, treating a combined 40,000 standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) of landfill gas (LFG) across the United States. The project at the New Jersey landfill is the fourth in the state for MV, while the Massachusetts project is the first for the company in the state.
The New Jersey landfill is comprised of a six-vessel H2SPlus System with a treatment capacity of 3,500 SCFM. The system will effectively remove about 600 pounds of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on a daily basis. H2S upon combustion is converted into sulfur dioxide (SO2). The design and MV's BioActive Media enable landfill operators to meet site-specific regulatory criteria surrounding air pollution control rules, while meeting their expectations for capital and operating expenditures. The project, to be fully operational in June of 2017, will represent one of MV's largest H2SPlus System installations to date.
MV's landfill gas project in Massachusetts is designed to treat 1,300 SCFM of LFG with a H2S concentration of 1600 ppm (parts per million) down to 200 ppm of H2S. The landfill will use a two-vessel H2SPlus System and is expected to remove about 100 tons of SO2 from the site's emission on an annual basis. Completion of the project is expected in December 2016 and will ensure compliance with Massachusetts’ specific emission standards.
"The momentum with our H2SPlus System deployments in the LFG market is accelerating, and we believe the end-markets for our technology are not only recognizing the superior performance and reliability of our systems, but also the operational savings while complying with today's increasingly stringent air pollution requirements," says John Combs, CEO of SEER. "The timing for MV's increase in market share in the landfill gas market couldn't be more fortuitous as a recent study surrounding the waste-to-energy market concluded that while waste-to-power is flat lining in the United States, fuels from landfill gas are on the upswing.
"At expected flow rates and projected H2S concentrations, the two projects incorporating 8-vessel systems in total will require approximately 20,000 cubic feet of MV's BioActive Media on an annual replacement basis," says Tom Jones, president of MV.
