Landfill and biogas

LANDFILL & BIOGAS Sub-headline: Powering the circular economy with fluid precision. We help landfill and biogas operators protect high-value generation assets from the aggressive chemical by-products of waste-to-energy conversion, ensuring peak efficiency and 24/7 reliability.

Specialist biogas engine oil filtration removing siloxanes and acid-forming by-products down to 0.1 micron

01

Biogas Generators & CHP Units - Landfill Gas & Anaerobic Digestion Engine Oil Systems

APPLICATION
  • Biogas and landfill gas CHP generator engines

  • Anaerobic digestion plant power generation units

  • Sewage gas and food waste digester gensets

  • Renewable energy-from-waste generation sites

THE PROBLEM
  • H2S combustion produces sulfuric acid, causing rapid TBN depletion and liner corrosion

  • Siloxanes form hard, abrasive deposits that cause 'valve torching' and engine failure

  • Aggressive 400–800-hour oil change cycles drive up operational cost

  • Standard filters cannot remove siloxanes or acid precursors from the lubricant

DELTA-XERO SOLVES THIS BY
  • Remove siloxanes, moisture, and acid-forming by-products down to 0.1 micron

  • Maintain oil chemistry to extend drain intervals significantly beyond standard cycles

  • Prevent abrasive siloxane deposits and protect bearings, liners, and valves

  • Shift from rigid time-based maintenance to condition-based oil management

Continuous offline filtration for landfill gas compressors to prevent varnish and maintain oil viscosity

01

Gas Pumping & Compression - Landfill Gas Extraction Blowers, Compressors & Transfer Systems

APPLICATION
  • Landfill gas extraction compressors and blowers

  • Biogas upgrading and compression plant lubricant circuits

  • Flare station and gas transfer pump systems

  • High-pressure biomethane compression trains

THE PROBLEM
  • Gas moisture and VOCs forced into compressor oil cause viscosity loss and oxidation

  • Lubricant 'washing' from cylinder walls forms sticky varnish on valves and heads

  • Varnish on compressor valves causes overheating, high energy consumption, and failure

  • Frequent pump rebuilds halt gas extraction and increase operating cost

DELTA-XERO SOLVES THIS BY
  • Remove moisture and fine particulates via continuous offline kidney-loop filtration

  • Prevent abrasive silt-laden oil from destroying compressor seals and bearings

  • Maintain required oil film thickness to eliminate boundary lubrication conditions

  • Keep gas pumping infrastructure at peak mechanical efficiency without production stops

Diesel fuel conditioning for landfill backup power systems to ensure reliable cold-start availability

01

Standby Generation - Landfill & Biogas Site Backup Power Systems

APPLICATION
  • Site emergency and backup diesel generators on landfill sites

  • Biogas plant safety and monitoring system power backup

  • Weighbridge, office, and lighting emergency power reserves

  • Environmental compliance system backup power infrastructure

THE PROBLEM
  • Diesel fuel stored on-site degrades rapidly with moisture and microbial contamination

  • 'Dirty' fuel clogs injectors during cold start, causing non-compliance safety events

  • Lubricating oils thicken and oxidize during long idle periods between power tests

  • Varnish from standby cycles causes immediate damage when the generator is cold-started

DELTA-XERO SOLVES THIS BY
  • Reduce diesel contamination by 99.8% and water by 99.5% in site storage tanks

  • Eliminate diesel bug to guarantee reliable cold-start availability at all times

  • Achieve 7–33% CO2 reduction and >50% NOx reduction at full load through clean fuel

  • Guarantee 100% power availability and environmental compliance across the site

Pneumatically driven ATEX Zone 1 oil management system for anaerobic digester pump and valve actuators

01

ATEX Zones - Methane-Rich Hazardous Zone Oil Management

APPLICATION
  • Anaerobic digester ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 pump systems

  • Landfill gas pumping station hydraulic dampers

  • Safety-critical shut-off and penstock control systems

  • Flare control and gas distribution valve actuators

THE PROBLEM
  • ATEX regulations prohibit use of standard electrical filtration equipment in methane zones

  • Deferred oil conditioning causes varnish buildup in safety-critical hydraulic dampers

  • Contaminated valves and penstocks fail to actuate during emergency shut-off events

  • Non-compliant maintenance practices expose sites to regulatory and safety enforcement

DELTA-XERO SOLVES THIS BY
  • Non-electrical, pneumatically driven systems with zero ESD or ignition risk

  • Fully ATEX-certified for safe, continuous oil management in methane-rich environments

  • Improve compliance outcomes and reduce audit risk in hazardous zone maintenance

  • Ensure safety-critical dampers and penstocks remain ready for emergency actuation
