An EGLE inspector observed the final day of performance testing (June 1, 2018) of the FORTISTAR Landfill Gas to Energy Plant's turbines at Arbor Hills Landfill, required by ROP and Consent Order. Testing included criteria pollutant and HCL emissions measurements across three EGT turbines with and without ductburners. No visible emissions, fugitive dust, or unusual odors were detected during the inspection, and landfill conditions appeared good on the south hill.
Key data point: SO2 reading of 28 ppm with ductburner operating on 6/1/2018 (compared to 19 ppm without ductburner on 5/30); ductburners raise temperature from 900°F to 1200°F.

Derenzo Environmental Services conducted compliance stack testing of four landfill gas-fired turbines at Arbor Hills Energy (SRN N2688) from May 29 to June 1, 2018. The testing measured emissions of NOx, CO, SO2, HCl, and VOC to verify compliance with Michigan ROP Permit MI-ROP-N2688-2011. Results show all pollutants met permit limits except SO2, which exceeded allowable rates for all turbines and duct burners tested.
Key data point: SO2 emissions exceeded permit limits for all four turbines: Turbine 1 at 3.90 lb/hr (permit 2.9), Turbine 2 at 5.47 lb/hr (permit 2.9), Turbine 3 at 5.68 lb/hr (permit 2.9), Turbine 4 at 2.15 lb/MWhr (permit 0.9).
