The City of Casper, Wyoming awarded a contract with SCS Field Services to install a new landfill gas (LFG) collection and control system (GCCS) at the City鈥檚 Balefill Landfill. The GCCS will be one of the largest in Wyoming. During the bidding and proposal process, SCS鈥檚 extensive experience and proven track record installing LFG collection and control systems, including flare stations, became clear. Services to the City will include the installation of LFG wells, soil vapor extraction wells, incorporating existing passive vents into the new active system, HDPE piping, and a blower-flare station to combust the extracted gas.
