Landfill gas Monitoring

• In March 1986 an event occurred which highlighted
  the necessity for landfill gas monitoring and
  triggered a change in the way the waste industry
  considered and regulated gas generated at
  landfill sites. An explosion destroyed a bungalow
  adjacent to a landfill site in Loscoe,
  Derbyshire. Subsequent measurements showed that
  150-200 cubic meters of gas per hour were being
  generated by landfill waste. This resulted in the
  landfill regulations of 2002, and in particular
  LFTGN03 the Guidance on the Management of
  landfill Gas.

• These regulations require that for every landfill
  site, a gas management plan is put in place to
  ensure
• Landfill gas must be collected from all landfills
  receiving biodegradable waste and the landfill
  gas must be treated and, to the extent possible,
  used.
• The collection, treatment and use of landfill gas
  is required and must be achieved in a manner,
  which minimises damage to, or deterioration of,
  the environmental risk to human health.

OEM for Landfill Gas Monitoring

• Gascard NG is an ideal OEM sensing solution for
  measuring either methane (CH4) or Carbon Dioxide
  (CO2), having been designed for ease of
  integration.
• Available with a 0-100 range for both CO2 and
  CH4, the sensor features on-board Barometric
  Pressure Correction, and extensive Temperature
  compensation, which allows installation worldwide
  in different climates.

5

• The Gascard NG has a range of different interface
  options, including analogue 4-20mA/0-20mA, true
  RS232 communication, optional on board LAN
  support, and a serial interface for interfacing
  relay alarms. The on-board firmware supports
  either a traditional 4-segment LCD or a modern
  graphical display.

Landfill Gas Monitoring Turn-Key solutions

• In addition to OEM Gas sensors, Edinburgh Sensors
  have been providing Gas Monitors based upon our
  proprietary infrared sensor technology for many
  years with tens of thousands of our monitors in
  operation worldwide. It is hardly surprising,
  therefore, that these monitors have been put to
  widespread use in many applications.
• The NEW Guardian NG Gas Monitor is already being
  evaluated by a number of our volume customers
  working within Landfill applications.
  Wall-mounted, in an IP54 enclosure, with an
  integral power supply and sample pump, allowing
  samples to be taken remotely from over 30 meters
  away, this Gas Monitor can be provided to measure
  0-100 of Carbon Monoxide (CO) or 0-30 of Carbon
  Dioxide (CO2).

• The Monitor features volt free relay alarm
  outputs, controlled by programmable alarm levels
  an accurate temperature and pressure compensated
  measurement of the gas concentration via 4-20mA(
  or 0-20mA) and RS232 interface and a graphical
  user interface with password protection
  allowing not only display of the compensated gas
  measurement, but control of the Gas monitor
  calibration and alarm functions.
