Rumpke gets permit to install odor control

Montauk Energy operates three methane gas recovery facilities at Rumpke Landfill.

CINCINNATI — “The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued Rumpke a final air permit for a new thermal oxidizer at one of the methane gas recovery plants operated by Montauk Energy at the Rumpke Landfill, 10795 Hughes Road.

The new equipment replaces an older, smaller thermal oxidizer and is designed to limit odors coming from the methane gas recovery plant. The device will, however, have the potential to emit additional carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. The new thermal oxidizer will be limited to a maximum annual output of 69.77 tons per year of carbon monoxide and 16.52 tons per year of nitrogen oxides.”
