19 MW Landfill Gas to Energy Plant in Valdemingomez

Spain

The landfill gas power plant in Valdemingómez, operational since 2003, stands out for its efficiency in supplying both electricity and heat by utilizing landfill gas as fuel. This landfill gas power plant has a net capacity of 18.9 MW and is equipped with 8 Jenbacher gas engines for both generation and cogeneration, as well as a PASCH steam turbine that harnesses exhaust gases to maximize energy output. IDOM developed the basic and detailed engineering for this innovative project for the Sufi group.

Since its commissioning in 2003, eight Jenbacher gas engines, of which four are generating units (JGS 620 GS-LL) and four cogeneration units (JMS 620 GS-LL), have provided heat and power at a significative efficiency using landfill gas as fuel. The electricity produced by the engines is sent to the local network, while the heat generated by the cogeneration modules covers internal demands, supplying heat to the plant process to meet the needs of the installation. Moreover, the exhaust gases of engines are used for the generation of steam that allows an additional production of electricity by means of a 1,960 kW PASCH steam turbine.

For the Sufi group, IDOM has developed the complete engineering (basic and detailed engineering) of the power generation plant project.
