Problem
Landfill operations face challenges in efficiently managing and monitoring liquid removal processes, leading to increased operational costs and potential environmental compliance issues. Traditional systems often lack integrated data acquisition and real-time performance feedback, hindering proactive management.
Solution
Nextech Environmental provides an integrated liquid removal system designed to optimize landfill operations. The system comprises the NX-1 HTS pump, CX-1 Controller, and DX-1 Data Acquisition Module, working in concert to automate and monitor leachate extraction. The CX-1 Controller intelligently senses leachate presence and manages pump cycles, while the DX-1 DAQ wirelessly transmits operational data. This data is accessible through a client dashboard, offering real-time insights into system performance and enabling more efficient management of liquid removal processes.
Target Audience
The primary customers are landfill operators and environmental management companies seeking to improve the efficiency and reduce the operational costs associated with liquid removal.
Features
- NX-1 HTS Pump: High-reliability pump unit for liquid extraction.
- CX-1 Controller: Manages pump operation based on leachate detection, featuring a control PCB, solenoid valve, battery, and solar panel connectivity.
- DX-1 Data Acquisition Module (DAQ): Wirelessly collects and transmits operational data from the pump and controller.
- RX-1 Cell Module: Optional module for enhanced data collection capabilities.
- Client Online Dashboard: Web-based interface for real-time monitoring, data visualization, and system management.
- Automated Pump Cycling: Controller senses leachate and initiates pumping, returning to sleep mode when no leachate is detected.
- Wireless Data Download: Facilitates remote data retrieval from the DAQ module.
