LO-CAT Technology a Key Factor in ENR Award
Merichem Technologies announces that its LO-CAT® Technology for H2S removal was a key factor in Ohio landfill desulphurization projects that recently received Engineering News Record’s (ENR’s) Midwest Award of Merit in the water/environment category.
Merichem designed and fabricated four trains of proprietary LO-CAT® H2S removal technology helping capture and sequester nearly 100% of the hydrogen sulfide gas naturally emitted at WIN Waste Innovations’ two landfills in Ohio. WIN Waste’s investment in the LO-CAT® technology, the construction by ET Design Build, and additional plant design by GHD, has resulted in the largest application of desulphurization technology for landfill gas in the United States.
In removing more than 99% of the inlet H2S, Merichem Technologies’ liquid redox process virtually eliminates sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from the landfill gas. The application makes the two WIN Waste landfills among the most environmentally friendly in the nation.
WIN Waste plans to convert the treated gas into renewable natural gas, a project that is expected to produce more than 2.7 million MMBtus of RNG annually and eventually will result in avoiding more than 120,000 tons of fossil-based carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions each year.
“These are model landfills thanks to Merichem’s technology,” said Mark Santella, Vice President of Engineering for WIN Waste Innovations. “…We are incredibly grateful to have partnered to bring the best of the best technology available to make our Ohio landfills environmentally protective and great for the region.”
