Request for Quotations (RFQ) AVL Landfill Gas Flare RFQ Details The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) invites quotations for the supply and installation of a Landfill Gas Flare according to the following requirements:

Location

The flare is to be installed and commissioned at the Alberni Valley Landfill (AVL) 7080 McCoy Lake Rd, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 9G1

The location is indicated on the following site plan and is shown in the attached photos. The site can be inspected during landfill opening hours by appointment with the landfill operator (Berry and Vale at avlandfill@gmail.com).

Background

The Landfill has accepted municipal solid waste since the 1970s. Waste placement is confined to the waste mound shown which is under intermediate soil cover. The location identified for this installation has experienced landfill gas emissions associated with two monitoring wells. These wells were sealed in place and have not been opened since that took place.

The ACRD requires the flare to burn the LFG from this source rather than continue to emit the LFG. Emissions of landfill gas are within provincial requirements and gas collection system is not required for the AVL, nor is the need anticipated.

The AVL is served by a SCADA system that monitors several systems on the site such as pumps and reservoir levels. The details of the service will be provided to the successful respondent. It is assumed instrumentation needs will be powered by solar panels and batteries to be installed as part of this RFQ.

Scope of work

The specified flare is to be purchased and connected to a new purpose-drilled well (casing minimum 200mm OD) to be installed adjacent to the existing monitoring wells. A borehole log from the drilling of those wells is also attached. The well casing and backfill materials are to be suitable to the intended purpose of landfill gas extraction over the next three decades.

The purchased flare is to be connected to the new well and commissioned. It is to have connectivity to the SCADA system that is in place at the site. Flare temperature, battery condition, and up time are to be made available in real time via SCADA.

The successful proponent is to also required to compile an operations and maintenance manual/checklist for the flare system, as well as record drawings of the installation.

Flare

The following flare has been identified as suitable to the purpose. It does not include SCADA connectivity as supplied. Vendors are free to identify equivalent alternatives that may be substituted according to their expertise.

Site Viewing

The site is available for viewing by prior arrangement during regular facility hours,. Appropriate PPE is high vis vest and steel toe boots. Site COVID protocols current at the site are to be followed.

RFQ Submission Procedure All quotes are to be marked Quotation for AVL LFG Flare and be received by the ACRD representatives on or before 4:30pm on August 12th 2021 by email. A single email is to be addressed to: jbrunn@acrd.bc.ca and peichelberger@acrd.bc.ca

Enquiries Solid Waste Manager 3008 Fifth Avenue Port Alberni, BC V9Y 2E3 Email is the preferred means of communication.

January 11, 2016 McGill and Associates Engineering Ltd. 4610 Elizabeth Street Port Alberni, B.C. V9Y-6L7 Attn: Brad West, P.Eng. Re: Report on field investigation and remedial measures taken to alleviate landfill gas venting of monitoring well MW94-3 at Alberni Valley Landfill. Len Hanson of Norseman Engineering Ltd. was contacted by Jennifer Mancer of Piteau Engineering concerning safety issues associated with the above monitoring well, in particular with large amounts of landfill gas being emitted from this well. Norseman was provided with all of the information needed to assess, test and perform corrective measures on the above well including the original drilling log, a photo of the well, a topographical site plan of the area and a description of the situation. Norseman was requested to analyze the landfill gas, including testing for hydrogen sulphide. A Gem 2000 Plus instrument was rented which had the capability of measuring that as well as methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The description of the well as presented to Norseman was that of a 152 mm (6”) steel casing rising out of the landfill surface vertically to a height of 1.8 m (5.9’). Inside of the protective steel pipe were two 51 mm (2”) PVC piezometers; a deep one with slotted screen at 12.2 to 15.2 meters below the surface, and a shallow one with slot screen at 5.2 to 6.7 m below the surface. It was thought that it would be prudent to be prepared to be able to contain the landfill gas being emitted from the well and at the same time maintain access to the piezometers.

The site was visited on January 4, 2016. Upon arrival, Norseman was escorted to the well in question by Earl, the landfill operator, and was provided with a description of the site. Large amounts of landfill gas were being emitted from the well. It was unknown whether the majority of the landfill gas was being emitted from the 152 mm pipe or from the 51 mm piezometers. These were capped, and it was observed that the flow of landfill gas did not decrease appreciably. Thus it was concluded that the steel pipe was providing a path of least resistance for the landfill gas to escape into the atmosphere. The large amount of landfill gas escaping from the well provided a good opportunity to test the landfill gas for its component parts. The results are as follows: Chemical Component Instrument Reading Methane (CH4) 55.9 % Carbon Dioxide (CO2) 36.5 % Oxygen (O2) 1.0 % Balance (mostly Nitrogen) 6.8 % Carbon Monoxide (CO) 10 ppm Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) 28 ppm It was then decided to cap the steel pipe while still maintaining access to the piezometers if necessary. A 152 mm PVC Drain, Waste and Vent (DWV) cap was used since this type of cap is constructed in Iron Pipe Size (IPS), which was assumed to be the size of the steel pipe. This proved to be correct. A hole saw was used to cut two holes in the cap the size of the OD of the two piezometers. Couplings and 51 mm (2”) pipe were used to extent these above the top of the steel pipe. The cap was then fitted over the extended pipes and pounded in to place. It was observed at this point that landfill gas was still being emitted from the piezometers, but at a greatly reduced rate.

In order to stop all landfill gas emissions while still having access to test the piezometers, 51mm (2”) male threaded adapters were glued to the pipes, and were then topped off with threaded 51 mm (2”) caps tightened hand tight for easy access. These pipes can now be tested if necessary one at a time with minimal landfill gas exposure, while preventing any landfill gas from escaping during non test periods. Conclusion The steel pipe of MW94-3 provided a point of easy escape for landfill gas into the atmosphere. Capping it will force the landfill gas to migrate slowly through the soil and cover before emerging from the ground surface. As the landfill gas migrates through the soil, much of the methane and other components of landfill gas will be oxidized and will become less harmful. This will reduce the amount of emissions of concern from going into the atmosphere and also correcting a potential safety and health hazard. The fittings at the top will provide access for testing if necessary. If you have any questions, please contact me. Submitted by: Norseman Engineering Ltd. Len Hanson, P.Eng.
