Hydryx automates landfill gas management by deploying sensors and actuators on existing gas extraction infrastructure, optimizing valve positions through a cloud-based algorithm to minimize methane leaks and enhance biogas recovery. This technology addresses the inefficiency of current landfill gas collection methods, where approximately 60% of methane escapes, by providing real-time monitoring and control to improve energy generation efficiency.

Problem
Inefficient landfill gas collection methods result in approximately 60% of methane escaping into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Existing manual tuning processes for gas extraction are time-consuming and do not optimize gas extraction, leading to lost renewable energy potential.
Solution
Hydryx automates landfill gas management using a system of sensors and actuators placed on existing gas extraction infrastructure. A cloud-based algorithm optimizes valve positions on each well based on real-time gas measurements, local site parameters, and external factors. This minimizes methane leaks, increases gas extraction rates, and optimizes green energy production. The Hydryx portal provides real-time monitoring and control of landfill gas systems, improving energy generation efficiency.
Target Audience
The primary customers are landfill operators seeking to minimize methane leaks, increase gas extraction rates, and optimize green energy production.
