February 2019 - Halley VI closed for winter
Halley VI is one of the most remote scientific research centres in the world. Famously, it played a critical role in the research that identified the ozone ‘hole’ in 1985. The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has closed its Halley base for another winter, leaving 80% of the experiments normally conducted through the polar night to operate automatically. In order to provide the power for this, BAS have installed a microturbine power generator package, supplied by NewEnCo. Landfill Systems designed and built the ISO container based package.
The BAS microturbine uses aviation fuel but micro-turbines can also be operated on natural gas, digester and landfill gasses. A microturbine installed alongside our Low Calorie Gas Flare provides a complete micro-generation and flaring package, meeting Environment Agency ‘best practice’ for emissions and power generation. A flow of only 40m3/hr of landfill gas can be used to produce c.60kW of electricity for export to the National Grid.

February 2014 – First ACUMEN project up and running
Landfill Systems are pleased to announce that the first of five ACUMEN EU LIFE+ demonstration projects came on line in Feb 2014. The project seeks to demonstrate that landfill gas fuelled Stirling engines can successfully generate and export electricity to the Grid. Two engines, supplied by Swedish firm Cleanergy are now generating 24/7 at the Docking 2 Closed Landfill Site using only a small part of the gas resource available. Nick Palmer, Director of Landfill Systems said, “This is a major milestone for micro-scale generation from Landfill Gas in the UK. Almost any landfill site currently running a flare is capable of operating Stirling engines, even those with low methane levels”
October 2013 - First ACUMEN contract awarded
Landfill Systems are pleased to announce our success in tendering for the first ‘ACUMEN’ project installation. The contract, for the installation of two Stirling engines, is one of 5 similar projects designed to demonstrate and prove innovative techniques for the investigation, utilisation and capture of methane in landfill gas from closed and historic landfills.
ACUMEN (Assessing, Capturing and Utilising Methane from Expired and Non-operational landfills) is a partnership of companies within the waste industry and government agencies. It is led by the Environment Agency (EA) and is supported by the European Union (EU) LIFE+ programme. This first project is for two On-Grid Stirling engines, housed in a 20ft container and installed on a Norfolk County Council closed landfill site near Kings Lynn.
A Stirling engine requires only 12m3/hr. of landfill gas with <18% CH4 content to generate electricity and heat. This will be the first project in the UK where a Stirling engine has been used on landfill gas. The two engines will generate enough power to supply the on-site needs and surplus energy will be exported to the national grid.
Nick Palmer, Director of Landfill Systems said, “Historically, small landfill gas flows with low methane content have been impractical to use and they are typically flared off. The development of the Stirling engine allows the true value of these gasses to be realised, helping to reduce greenhouse gas and carbon emissions. A real advantage is their small size and that multiple units can be installed and redeployed to suit changing gas availability.”
July 2013 - Success at the ADBA Show 2013
