Problem
Landfill gas (LFG) collection systems often operate inefficiently due to a lack of real-time monitoring and diagnostic tools, hindering the maximization of renewable energy extraction from decomposing waste. Traditional methods lack the granularity and responsiveness needed to quickly identify and address issues affecting gas quality and wellfield performance.
Solution
Apis Innovation provides integrated IoT hardware and software solutions that enable landfills to optimize LFG collection through real-time monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and remote management capabilities. The system comprises smartWells, headerMonitors, and weatherStations that wirelessly transmit data to a cloud-based dashboard, providing 24/7 access to crucial insights on gas quality and site health. The platform facilitates data-driven wellfield operations, enabling users to quickly detect gas field issues, establish gas well history, and pinpoint problems with gas quality or wellhead integrity. The patented smartWell technology also allows for remote wellfield tuning, either manually or through automated software controls.
Target Audience
The primary customers are landfill operators and managers seeking to improve the efficiency of their LFG collection systems, maximize renewable energy extraction, and reduce operational costs.
