The American Environmental Landfill (AEL) is a privately owned and operated municipal solid waste landfill located west of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. In 2007, Aquaterra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (Aquaterra) designed and constructed 17 passive landfill gas (LFG) vents to minimize the potential for offsite migration of LFG. Subsequently, Aquaterra completed a LFG to energy economic feasibility study and assisted AEL with contract negotiations and execution of a Landfill Gas Rights, Lease and Development Agreement with Tulsa LFG, LLC, a subsidiary of Montauk Energy Capital to extract, process, and market the LFG generated at the facility. In 2008, Aquaterra completed the permitting associated with an active gas collection and recovery system (GCRS) as part of a LFG extraction and beneficial use project. As with GCRS at other facilities, the GCRS at AEL has been installed in phases. Aquaterra has developed construction plans and specifications for various phases of the GCRS installation which consists of LFG extraction wells, gas collection piping, condensate management equipment, and a blower/flare facility. Additionally, Aquaterra has performed construction quality assurance services during the construction activities. In 2011, Aquaterra completed the permitting to construct and install a renewable energy generation source at AEL as part of a beneficial use project. The gas collected within the GCRS will be utilized to generate electric power. The initial phase of the project consists of installing two Caterpillar generators supported by 2,233-hp Caterpillar G3520 engines with a capacity of 3.2 Megawatts as is projected to be online in 2012.
