In this study, for the use of LFG, the burning velocities of LFG and LFG mixed fuels have been numerically analyzed. C3 reaction mechanism which consists of 92 species and 621 reaction was adopted in the calculation. The results show that the burning velocities of LFG and LFG mixed fuels are obtained as a function of $CH_4$ and LFG percentage at stoichiometric conditions. In addition, the correlations of burning velocities LFG and LFG mixed fuels were obtained over a wide range of the equivalence ratio. The comparison of burning velocity correlated from numerically calculated results with experimental ones shows good agreements. From these results, the suggested burning velocity correlations far LFG and LFG mixed fuels in this study can be applied to the practical utilization of LFG.

In this study, the burning velocity of LFG and LFG mixing fuels related with flame stabilization have been analyzed numerically using C3 reaction mechanism which consists of 92 species and 621 reaction for using LFG. The results show that the burning velocities of LFG and LFG mixing fuels are obtained as a function of CH$_4$ and LFG percent in stoichiometric conditions. Also, a correlation of the burning velocities LFG and LFG mixing fuels are obtained over a wide range of equivalence ratio. The comparison of burning velocity from correlation with that calculated numerically show good agreements. From these results, the proposed burning velocity correlations for LFG and LFG mixing fuels can be applied for the practice of LFG.

본 연구에서는 LFG와 LNG의 혼합연료의 연소가스측 열전달 특성을 LFG, LNG 단독 연료와 비교함으로써 실험적으로 연구하였다. 실험을 위하여 파일럿 연소시스템을 제작하였으며, 연소시스템의 열교환부에는 수직 수평 배플을 가지는 다관형 열교환기를 설치하였다. 실험은 연료 주입 방식, 저위발열량, 메탄의 조성(44.5%, 54.5%)의 서로 다른 조건에서 수행되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 동일한 레이놀즈 수에서 LNG의 연소가스측누셀트 수는 LFG보다 큼을 알 수 있었으며, LFG의 경우에 LFG와 LNG 혼합 연료가 LFC 단독 연료보다 큼을 확인하였다. 따라서, LFG를 사용하는 경우 LFG 단독 연료를 사용하기보다는 LFG에 LNG를 적절히 첨가시켜 사용하는 것이 열전달이 향상되며, 발생 LFG의 공급 불안정성을 완화하는데 기여할 수 있다고 판단된다.

In this study, the burning velocities of LFG and LFG mixed fuels have been numerically determined. C3 reaction mechanism involving 92 species and 621 reactions was adopted in the calculation. The computed burning velocities using C3 mechanism show good agreements with experimental data. Based on numerical results, the maximum burning velocities of LFG and LFG mixed fuels were correlated as a function of CH$_4$ and LFG component percentage at stoichiometric conditions. In addition, the correlations of burning velocities of LFG and LFG mixed fuels were obtained over a wide range of the equivalence ratio. The numerical results are well agreed with the burning velocity correlations. The burning velocity correlations for LFG and LFG mixed fuels suggested in this study can be applied to the practical utilization of LFG.

LFG-MGT CHP system development project with $CO_2$ enrichment in greenhouses was introduced. LFG is produced from the anaerobic digestion of landfilled waste and it has been utilized for power/heat generation since it contains around 50% of $CH_4$. Utilization of LFG from small scale landfill is also needed as well as large scale landfill. However, due to economy of scale, it is very difficult to develop business model. In this context, combining CHP system with greenhouses is considered as feasible option for LFG utilization. LFG-MGT CHP system with $CO_2$ fixation in greenhouses has been derived as an active greenhouse gas reduction strategy, The focus of the system is beyond carbon neutral LFG utilization to neutral carbon absorption. The system is feasible in terms of direct and indirect $CO_2$ emission reduction with more economical way.

In this study, experiments were performed to investigate the characteristics of flame stabilization of the LFG mixing gas. LFG has merely half heating value compared with liquified natural gas but can be greatly utilized as a commercial fuel. In order to use LFG in practical combustors, Webbe Index and heating value of LFG mixing gas were adjusted by mixing LPG with LFG. The comparisons were conducted between CH$_4$and LFG mixing gas for searching the region of flame stabilization based upon the flame blowout at maximum fuel stream velocity. As a result, the flame stability of LFG mixing gas was not improved with that of CH$_4$in non-swirl and weak swirl diffusion flame. However, LFG mixing gas had wide flame stabilization region rather than CH$_4$with increasing ambient flow rate in strong swirl. It was also found that flame stability was affected by included quantity of inert gas such as CO$_2$in the weak swirl but by heating value of fuel in strong swirl.

Estimating of LFG emission rate has been well established. But, relatively short history of LFG extraction in Korea, the data and the formular have not been well compared and analyzed. Here, even though the operation period of extraction for Daegu Bangcheon-ri is short, the relevant correlation between estimated and the actual has been tried to find. Hopefully, this will be a guideline for the future LFG forecasting.

Landfill gas has merely half heating value compared with liquified natural gas but can be greatly utilized as a commercial fuel. The authors have examined emission characteristics as well as measured burning velocity of LFG mixed gas which contains plenty of $CO_{2}$. With the viewpoint of fuel utilization, flame stability could be one of important characteristics of LFG. In this study, the comparison experiments are conducted between $CH_{4}$ and LFG for searching the region of flame stabilization based upon the flame blowout at maximum fuel stream velocity. As a result, it is found that stabilization region of LFG is not improved with that of $CH_{4}$ in non-swirl/or weak swirl jet diffusion flame. However, it is also known that flame stability is hardly affected by inert gas in the strong swirl with considering widened flame stabilization region of LFG rather than LNG.

This paper provides a case study of landfill gas (LFG) utilization fer direct use as process fuel, and for electrical power generation at restored landfills in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China (HKSAR). The paper specifically covers the LFG utilization schemes, which are required under landfill restoration contracts at the Shuen Wan and Urban Landfills. These contracts provide for the restoration and aftercare of six landfills, and are administered by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) of the Hong Kong Government. The LFG utilization scheme at the Shuen Wan Landfill incorporates the direct use of LFG by compressing and dehumidifying the LFG prior to conveyance through a 1.6-kilometer (1-mile) pipeline. The pipeline provides an alternate fuel source to naphtha during process heating for gas production at the Tai Po Gas Production Plant of the Hong Kong and China Gas Limited (HKCC). The LFG utilization scheme at the Jordan Valley Landfill (one of the Urban Landfills) beneficially uses the LFG as fuel for electrical power generation with reciprocating internal combustion engines. The LFG is compressed, cooled, and filtered prior to delivery to two engine/generator sets. This system provides power to operate the leachate pre-treatment plant, which processes leachate from all of the Urban Landfill sites. The case study will examine the technical and non-technical considerations, including harriers, for developing, designing and implementing the LFG utilization projects in Hong Kong. Specific regulatory considerations and external governmental agency approvals are discussed, including the requirement to register as a gas-producing utility. While the paper focuses on LFG utilization applications in Hong Kong, many of the considerations discussed are also applicable to development of LFG utilization in other regions of Asia.

LFG 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 매립 가스 발생량 모델을 적용한 결과 Scholl Canyon 모델이 가장 효과적 인 것으로 나타났다. 종료 매립지의 매립가스 활용을 위하여 자연 발생량 이상의 매립가스의 과도한 추출은 외부 공기의 유입으로 인하여 메탄 농도의 감소 및 산소 농도의 증가를 야기하여 매립가스의 활용을 방해하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 매립가스 추출을 통한 안정화 방법은 비효과적이며, LFG 추출은 모델에 의해서 산정된 LFG 자연발생량 이하로 추출하는 것이 바람직하다. 8년이 경과한 시점에서 종료 매립지의 매립가스를 활용하는 방안은 자연발생량이 급격히 감소하여 매립종료 직후보다 비경제적이나 자연 발생량 이하로 소규모 이용시에는 타당성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
