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.
The IETLink Feature Suite
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.
Key Benefits for Operators and Engineers
- 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.
How IETLink is Different
While traditional monitoring is labor-intensive and results in delayed information, IETLink is built for the speed of modern environmental management.
Technical Specifications & Integrated Sensors
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.
Built for the Field
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.
