Landfill gas monitoring is the process by which gases that are collected or released from landfills are electronically monitored. Landfill gas is measured as it is collected and redirected to a power plant or flare ("Collection System Monitoring").
The composition of landfill gas (LFG) is crucial. The most abundant component in LFG is methane, which typically makes up 50% to 60% of the gas. To verify the calorific conditions in the natural breakdown of organic waste in a landfill site operators analyze their gas for oxygen content, this ensures the balancing of the gas wells/manifolds produce maximum levels of methane to increase energy production. It is also important to monitor for levels of gases harmful to the plant equipment such as hydrogen sulfide.
Increased Return on Investment Protection of expensive plant equipment (CHP’s) Validation and optimization of the landfill gas collection system.
Operators opt for fixed in line systems that will measure multiple sample point to ensure the process verification is monitored. These systems connect via industry standard protocols to the operators control systems housed on site. Portable analyzers offer flexibility for process monitoring at various wells/manifolds in the process to ensure maximum efficiency of the collection system.
