Midland-based BCCK Holding Company is providing its nitrogen removal process to a public utility company in Washington that converts methane gas from a landfill to natural gas, according to a news release.
“Landfill-derived renewable natural gas has the lowest full-cycle CO2 emissions of all transportation fuels, including emissions attributed to electric vehicles," Jacob Pratt, vice BCCK president of sales and business development said in the release. "The Klickitat Nitech® Nitrogen Removal Unit (NRU) will be used to remove nitrogen from methane gas collected from the landfill. Our Nitech® NRU will be guaranteed to recover 99.5% of the methane."
Kevin Ricks of the Klickitat Public Utility District said the utility is looking forward to BCCK's technology.
“We are proud to operate one of the largest, cleanest and most efficient landfill gas-to-energy projects anywhere in the world," Ricks said. "The next stage of our project, transforming landfill gas into renewable natural gas, is of vital importance and we selected BCCK to support us with their Nitech® technology due to their proven track record and the depth of the experience demonstrated by their engineering and manufacturing teams.”
