Technical Specifications

The Flex Powerstation™ is the integration of a proprietary thermal oxidizer and Flex modified gas turbine combined with unique system architecture and software control algorithms.

 

A
Methane gas generated by landfill is controlled and gathered by site collection system.

B
Flex takes gas after site collection system prior to site flare

C
Fuel is aspirated with air forming a 1.5% methane (15 Btu/cubic foot) mix at the inlet to the gas turbine.

D
The diluted gas air mix is compressed and preheated by the gas turbine

E
The pressurized preheated mixture is oxidized in the Powerstation™. The Flex algorithms control the temperature preventing Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) formation while destroying Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Volatiles (VOC’s).

F
The near zero emission gas leaves the Powerstation™ and powers the gas turbine. The clean hot gas energy is converted to electricity.

G
The renewable electricity created from flared gas is now available for use by the site or sold to the grid
