OHNY Weekend @ Freshkills Park : Trash to Treasure Tour, October 17

Freshkills Park is a 2,200-acre landfill-to park-project and a model for sustainable land reclamation. This park is the largest park being built in NYC in over 150 years.

https://freshkillspark.org/

Landfill gas wells extend down into the waste layer. The bottom of each well is perforated to allow particles of landfill gas inside. The vertical wells are connected to a network of lateral pipes, which are connected to nearby flare stations and a landfill gas purification plant.

 

Flare Station : It has blowers which create a vacuum that pulls the landfill gas into the vertical wells and through a network of lateral pipes to the Landfill Gas Purification Plant. Once the amount of gas produced by the landfill is minimal enough as to no longer be economically viable, the gas will be burned off right at the flare stations.
