Real-Time Landfill Monitoring:
Shift from Reactive to Proactive
Stop Managing Your Site in the Dark
Landfills are unpredictable, living environments. Even if a site appears stable, what’s happening beneath the surface can quickly escalate into a regulatory, environmental, or financial crisis. IETLink provides the 24/7 visibility you need to understand your landfill from the inside out.
Our system integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure to monitor the “pulse” of your site through a single, cloud-based dashboard.
- Comprehensive Sensor Integration: Monitor temperature, natural gas pressure, liquid levels, and pump status across every zone.
- Custom Smart Notifications: Receive real-time alerts via text or email the moment a parameter—like flare temperature or tank level—falls outside your safe thresholds.
- Rugged, Solar-Powered Hardware: Our battery-powered field units with an integrated solar panel provide up to two-weeks battery backup and reliable wireless transmission—even in remote locations.
- Actionable Data Visualization: Use the easy-to-read dashboard with color-coded indicators to identify problems and enable your team to identify issues instantly.
- Prevent Costly Emergencies: Early detection of leachate leaks or slope instability helps you avoid expensive remediation and unwanted media exposure.
- Maximize RNG Profits: Stop letting methane (money) escape. Optimized gas capture through real-time well monitoring ensures maximum energy recovery and higher secondary revenue.
- Effortless Regulatory Compliance: Stay ahead of NSPS requirements with accurate historical data and automated reporting that makes environmental inspections smoother.
- Enhanced Worker Safety: Reduce manual walkarounds in dangerous or unstable areas by having high-frequency data delivered directly to your device – saving both time and manpower.
While traditional monitoring is labor-intensive and results in delayed information, IETLink is built for the speed of modern environmental management.
IETLink’s platform is designed to be sensor-agnostic, meaning we integrate the most reliable hardware for each specific application to deliver real-time data 24/7.
Gas Composition & Quality Sensors
For RNG production, maintaining specific gas ratios is critical for pipeline injection and maximizing profits.
- Methane (CH4): Continuous infrared sensors to monitor methane concentration, ensuring high-purity gas for energy recovery.
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): Dedicated electrochemical or laser-based sensors to detect corrosive gases that can damage expensive upgrading equipment.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Monitoring levels to track the efficiency of upgrading systems and ensure gas meets regulatory standards.
- Oxygen (O2): Critical for preventing combustion risks and maintaining anaerobic conditions within digesters or landfill cells.
Operational & Physical Parameters
These sensors provide the “pulse” of your site’s infrastructure to prevent site downtime.
- Pressure & Vacuum: Monitoring natural gas pressure and header vacuum to identify blockages or leaks in the extraction system.
- Liquid Level Sensors: Ultrasonic or hydrostatic pressure sensors for real-time tank levels and sump monitoring, essential for preventing overflows.
- Temperature Probes: High-durability thermocouples to monitor flare temperatures and internal landfill heat for early fire detection.
- Pump Stroke Counters: Electronic tracking of pneumatic pump activity to monitor leachate removal efficiency and predict maintenance needs.
Site Stability & Environmental Protection
- Pore Pressure Transducers: Continuous monitoring of subsurface water pressure to safeguard slope stability and mitigate landslide risks.
- Flow Meters: Integrated flow tracking for leachate load-out and gas output to provide accurate historical data for compliance.
All sensors are connected to our rugged, solar-powered units. These units feature two-week battery backups and transmit data via a national wireless network, ensuring you never lose visibility, regardless of remote location.
