Position Specific Description

RNG Landfill Operations: Renewable natural gas (RNG) landfill recovery captures methane-rich landfill gas produced by decomposing organic waste and routes it through collection, compression, and treatment systems. Moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, siloxanes, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen, oxygen, and other contaminants are removed to produce pipeline-quality gas. Once the RNG meets interconnect specifications, pipeline controllers coordinate nominations, monitor SCADA pressures and flows, verify gas quality and line balance, manage alarms and abnormal conditions, and communicate with landfill facilities and interconnecting pipelines to support safe, reliable injection and transportation.

Gas Pipeline Operations: Natural gas pipelines supply power plants with the fuel needed for reliable electricity generation. Pipeline controllers coordinate daily nominations and hourly delivery profiles, monitor SCADA pressures, flows, temperatures, valve positions, compressor performance, and line pack, and adjust operations to meet changing plant demand while remaining within pipeline operating limits. They verify custody-transfer measurements, maintain line balance, communicate with gas schedulers, field personnel, and interconnecting pipelines, and respond to alarms, equipment issues, or supply disruptions to support safe, continuous, and dependable fuel delivery.
