Plants for the treatment of landfill gas, mine gas and natural gas as well as services for landfill aftercare and leachate treatment
LAMBDA Gesellschaft für Klimaschutz und regenerative Energien mbH
HertenNew on Amplifa
Gas technology for climate protection since 1984
LAMBDA Gesellschaft für Klimaschutz und regenerative Energien mbH, based in Herten, has been specialising in technical solutions in the field of landfill gas treatment, mine gas utilisation and methane emission prevention since 1984. The mid-sized company, part of the AGR group, develops, designs, manufactures, delivers and maintains turnkey plant components for landfill gas, mine gas, natural gas and similar biogenic gases. Core products are low-calorific-gas flares and hydrocarbon converters (LAMBDA CHC) for methane contents from approximately 1 to over 12 vol.-%, RTO plants, the FOXX plant, mobile gas flares (MGF) and mobile gas extraction systems. The offering is complemented by plant operation, maintenance, rental plants, leachate treatment, environmental consulting, landfill aftercare and seminars for operating personnel. Customers come from municipal and private waste management, the energy sector as well as biogas and sewage treatment plants.

Media and processes
Landfill gas (methane/CO₂)
Thermal and biological treatment of low-calorific gas from approx. 1 vol.-% methane with FOXX, CHC, RTO and OCHC.
Mine gas
Extraction and utilisation of mine gas from closed mines via the holding Minegas GmbH.
Natural gas
Mobile gas flares (MGF) reduce methane emissions during maintenance work in the natural gas transmission and distribution grid.
Biogas
Treatment of other biogenic gases from biogas and sewage treatment plants.
Landfill leachate
Treatment and processing of leachate including ultrafiltration.
