This episode of Trash Talk begins an interesting 4-part series on wellfield management. First, Eric sits down with Dan and Mike to unpack what really happens in a landfill wellfield. They share what it takes to keep gas collection and control systems running smoothly, how weather and site conditions can shift things in an instant, and pull back the curtain on the teamwork required to keep gas flows steady without everything going sideways.

Learn about the evolution of wellfield operations and management—from hands‑on, daily field adjustments to more modern approaches that help operators respond faster and work more efficiently. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you might even walk away with a new appreciation for the unsung heroes of the wellfield.

From Waste to Innovation: The Engineering Behind Biogas Plant Development

In this episode of Trash Talk, Dan Waineo—Director of JADE Biogas Engineering—unpacks the technical and strategic process behind building full-scale renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities. From analyzing landfill gas curves and composition to pioneering cryogenic nitrogen removal systems, Dan shares how JADE’s innovative team transforms complex challenges into efficient, scalable energy solutions.

Discover why trust, versatility, and operational efficiency are keys to successful biogas projects—and how even small design decisions can yield major long-term benefits. Whether you're a landfill owner, developer, or simply curious about sustainable energy, this episode offers a deep dive into the engineering, economics, and human insight that power the future of RNG. that make biogas engineering successful.

In this episode of Trash Talk, we’re hanging out at the Advanced Biogas Systems (ABS) plant in Hot Springs, NC. Steve Allman, ABS’ General Manager, and Eric Stuehrenberg, ABS’ Plant Manager, take us behind the scenes to show how ABS designs and builds the equipment that processes landfill gas for various end uses. They walk us through ABS’ journey from manufacturing equipment for power generation projects to renewable natural gas projects, sharing how the technology has evolved and improved to make treatment systems more effective, efficient, and long-lasting. Along the way, we hear about the company’s growth, the impact on the local community, and how doing everything under one roof—from design to controls—gives an advantage to ABS’ customers. It’s a story of innovation, resilience, and a whole lot of teamwork.
