The new look of our newsletter reflects the added emphasis on new environmental issues facing our customers.
In this issue, you will find details on new technologies for removing H2S from your landfill gas and for utilizing this landfill gas as a reliable, renewable fuel option.
In addition, we now provide valuable information on our partnering with the EPA’s Landfill Methane Outreach Program. For easy access to details on this program—and on a wide range of EPA information—we offer specific, directed links to valuable EPA information.
With this newsletter, Gas Technology Products will help you enhance your processes with timely information, bringing you news of market developments and key technology updates that affect your business.
Most importantly, we want to know what you need to make your processes more efficient and effective. Please tell us what you would like to see in this newsletter by contacting me at tbarnette@merichem.com

Gas Technology Products (GTP) offers both liquid and solid media desulfurization technologies to sweeten gas streams containing virtually any levels of hydrogen sulfide or mercaptans—for systems of widely ranging capacities. For any size or type application, GTP offers complete turnkey systems.
In this issue:
01. Cost effective H2S mitigation for your landfill
If your landfill is one of many that have sought a new revenue stream by accepting construction and demolition debris, here is some valuable information on your H2S control options.
Increased C&D debris and the use of C&D fines as an alternate daily cover often produce higher hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentrations in landfill gas, resulting in acid gas corrosion of gas recovery hardware. In addition, exceeding emission limits and local environmental issues (mostly odors) also result from high H2S concentrations. [More]
02. Landfill gas utilization offers a reliable, renewable fuel option
While over 424 landfills in the U.S. are already recovering and using landfill gas as a renewable energy resource, the U.S. EPA Landfill Methane Outreach Program estimates that more than 560 additional MSW landfills could turn their gas onto energy, producing enough electricity to power over 870,000 homes. Currently in the U.S. landfill gas recovery and use results in a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 24 million metric tons of carbon equivalent (MMTCE), equivalent to planting 24 million acres of forest or removing the annual emissions from 17 million vehicles.
Gas Technology Products is an industry partner of the Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) through its technologies to remove hydrogen sulfide from landfill gas. Learn more about GTP’s technologies to remove H2S from your landfill, and about the LMOP program. [More] |
