ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the on-site disposal of landfill gas (LFG) condensate is disclosed. Any contaminants in the condensate are incinerated in an LFG flare. The LFG condensate is first pressurized and then injected, in an atomized state, into a combustion zone of the LFG flare. The LFG condensate is pumped from a plurality of sumps to an accumulator. A pump controlled by a liquid level sensor cycles on and off in response to the level of condensate in the accumulator. The pressurized condensate is delivered to a nozzle via a conduit system. The pressurized condensate is atomized by the nozzle and the resulting mist is directed into the combustion zone where it is vaporized. Any contaminants in the condensate are incinerated along with similar contaminants in the LFG.
