Landfill Gas-to-Energy Study: North Durham WWTP
Landfill Gas-to-Energy Study: North Durham WWTP Client: City of Durham Location: Durham, NC Hazen and Sawyer was retained by the City of Durham to investigate the feasibility of bene cial use for digester gas and land ll gas (LFG) generated at the North Durham WWTP project site. Based on the results of the investigation, the City of Durham was able to negotiate an agreement with a LFG-to-energy developer which results in annual revenue, including o sets for operation of the LFG system, of approximately $184,000 per year without any capital investment into infrastructure for the LFG bene cial use system.
