A Local Authority have purchased their fifth Landfill Systems low calorie gas flare having installed the first in
2010. They selected a second–generation LC50 model from the company’s successful low calorie range.
This latest purchase replaces an elevated (‘candle’) flare, installed in 1992, at a remote small historic landfill site.
Within weeks of the original installation, the gas flow reduced in flow and methane content to such an extent
that the elevated flare could only be operated on a daily timer. Initially the elevated flare ran for 8 hours in every
24 but within a few years the running time reduced to 2 hours per day. This made it difficult to control landfill gas
migration to a sensitive receptor. Latterly, the flare was operated in vent mode as combustion of the gas was no
longer possible due to low methane.

Following a pumping trial using the original flare operating in
vent mode, sufficient gas flow information was gathered to
enable the maximum capacity of a suitable low calorie flare to
be assessed. Landfill Systems designed, built and installed an
LC50 low calorie flare, which has a thermal capacity of 50kW
(equivalent to 10m3/hr. at 50% methane). The flare was in-
stalled and commissioned, and the original flare was removed
for disposal, all on the same day.
The new flare is operating continuously with a combustion temperature of over 1,000OC with no support fuel, at
a gas flow of 11m3/hr. and 12% methane (equivalent to 13.2kWth). Continuous gas extraction means that gas
migration from the site is now firmly controlled. As a result, site visits will be reduced from weekly to monthly,
helped by the comprehensive remote telemetry and data logging systems on board.
