| As landfill sites continue to be headline news, the control and monitoring of contaminant by-products is as important now as it has ever been. | |
| Methane and other
gases must be drawn out of the waste to prevent them spreading outwards and
leaching into groundwater. Fans must be kept running constantly to achieve
this, then the excess gases are burnt off in flare-stacks. The constant presence of heavy plant equipment makes cable-runs around the site vulnerable and their sprawling layout makes a fixed-format telemetry system wasteful and inflexible. |
 |
To this end, Shanks Waste Solutions have adopted Alphr Telemetry's modular MQ Telemetry system to provide all their control and monitoring needs. As the sites grow, engineers can add more modules to accommodate the additional requirements, with all configuration being simply achieved using a laptop computer on-site. | |
