QuestAir to supply methane recovery system for Hampshire landfill gas-to-energy project

VANCOUVER, B.C. – QuestAir Technologies Inc. (AIM: QAR; TSX: QAR) announced today that it has received an order valued at approximately CDN$1.2 million for a M-3100 methane recovery system for use in a landfill gas-to-energy project in New Hampshire. The order was received from SCS Energy, a division of SCS Engineers, a leader in the design, construction and operation of landfill gas-to-energy projects in the US.

Jonathan Wilkinson, President and CEO of QuestAir, said “QuestAir’s M-3100 will increase the energy content of landfill gas from the Rochester Neck Road landfill by removing carbon dioxide. The upgraded product gas will be used to fire a combined cycle cogeneration facility at the University of New Hampshire (“UNH”), generating both electrical power and steam for building heating.”

“The University of New Hampshire is a leader in sustainability and the use of renewable energy. The system supplied by SCS Energy, including QuestAir’s M-3100, will allow UNH to replace fossil fuels with renewable upgraded landfill gas in their existing cogeneration facility, which provides 75% of the university’s energy requirements.”

“This is expected to result in significant environmental and economic benefits, including a direct reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, as well as substantial cost savings from lower natural gas consumption,” Wilkinson said.

Jeffrey Pierce, Vice President of SCS Energy, said “SCS selected a QuestAir M-3100 PSA system for the UNH project because its rotary valve provides a significant improvement in PSA design.  Also, the M-3100’s small size, attractive economics, and simplicity of operation provide a good solution for a stable, enhanced BTU fuel gas to fire UNH’s 8 MW turbine.”
