SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROL OF A GAS
First Claim
1. A system of converting a gas into electricity comprising:
- a gas collection system;
a conduit and valve assembly fluidly connected to the gas collection system;
a second fuel source separate from the gas collection system;
a second conduit and the valve assembly fluidly connected to the second fuel source;
a combustion device configured to selectively receive gas from the gas collection system via the conduit and valve assembly and the second fuel source via the second conduit and a valve assembly and burn the gas and fuel; and
a generator operatively connected to the combustion device, the generator configured to generate electricity.

16. A method of converting a gas into electricity comprising:
-
recovering a gas emitted from a landfill; flowing the gas through a valve, filter, and regulator to a combustion device; providing a second fuel source separate from the recovered gas; connecting the fuel source to the combustion device; burning at least one of either;
the gas and fuel from the second fuel source in a combustion device;running a generator with the combustion device; and generating electricity with the generator. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
