Kwame Building Group selected for Ameren UE methane gas-to-electricity project at Missouri landfill
November 09, 2009
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – Kwame Building Group has been awarded a contract through Green Companies Inc. to provide design management support on a major landfill gas-to-energy project at the Fred Weber Company Solid Waste Landfill in Maryland Heights, Missouri.
Construction is expected to begin in 2010, and the plant is expected to be operational in 2011. The Ameren UE Methane to Megawatts project will be the largest landfill gas-to-electric facility in the state and among the largest in the nation, generating enough electricity for 10,000 homes.
Methane from the landfill will be delivered to combustion turbines through a blower plant that delivers 6,000 cubic feet of landfill gas per minute, 24 hours a day. The gas is collected through 120 landfill wells, which are plumbed and connected with two miles of high-density plastic pipe.
“We are excited to be involved in this important renewable energy initiative,” said Joshua K. Randall, vice president at Kwame Building Group.
