Gas-to-Energy/Waste-to-Energy - landfill and waste treatment

One of the largest sources of greenhouse gases is the decomposition of waste in landfill sites and methane generated from waste treatment plants.

Landfill gas is a mixture comprising mainly methane and carbon dioxide, formed as a by-product when microbiological action breaks down biodegradable waste. The exact composition of gas will vary from one landfill to the next, and may also vary over time from the same location.

This methane is collected through a series of pipes embedded within the landfill, extracting it as it is formed and is then either burned off to power turbines or sold directly to aggregators.

With the high risk of variable gas quantums coming from landfill, it is essential that continuous, highly accurate monitoring is taking place to protect engines from damage and to ensure safety of on-site personnel.

SENTRUM provides a combination of fail-safe continuous monitoring to protect plant and personnel and to ensure system integrity, and incredible accuracy of monitoring of gas composition, to prevent damage to engines and to provide you with a fully auditable data trail from anywhere in the world.
