Project to Use Environmentally Advanced Flex Powerstation(TM) FP250 Turbines; Provides an Energy Solution by Generating Power from Methane at Closed Landfill
Yesterday, the Orange County Board of Supervisors approved, by a 5-0 unanimous vote, a binding agreement with Flex OC Renewables, a subsidiary of FlexEnergy Inc (
www.flexenergy.com ), as the primary firm to install and operate a system that will provide power generation from landfill gas at the Santiago Canyon Landfill in Orange.
The Santiago Canyon project will be one of the world’s most environmentally advanced facilities for generating power while destroying methane and related air pollutants. The Santiago Canyon project will also help Orange County meet the stringent air quality emissions for waste gases scheduled to go into effect in 2013. Santiago Canyon Landfill has been closed since 1988, and until now has “flared” or burned off methane created as trash decomposes.
“By installing the Flex Powerstation(TM) FP250 power generation system, we will be able to beneficially reuse landfill gas to generate a source of revenue and renewable energy,” said Joseph Perry, CEO, FlexEnergy .
