    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loci_Controls

    LoCI's system is designed to increase methane gas extraction from landfills. The software and hardware provide remote monitoring and control, versus historical practices, which require twice-monthly on-site monitoring and manual adjustments to extract the methane.

  3. Landfill gas utilization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill_Gas_Utilization

    The use of landfill gas is considered a green fuel source because it offsets the use of environmentally damaging fuels such as oil or natural gas, destroys the heat-trapping gas methane, and the gas is generated by deposits of waste that are already in place. 450 of the 2,300 landfills in the United States have operational landfill gas ...

    On March 9, 1996, [5] a massive landslide occurred on the north side of the landfill. [1] The north face of the mound cracked and fell forward, exposing 15 acres (6.1 ha) of buried waste. [2] A few months after the landslide, on May 23, 1996, lightning struck near the location of the landslide, [6] causing a fire that lasted for six days. [5]

  9. Landfill gas monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill_gas_monitoring

    Monitoring of the landfill gas itself can be used diagnostically. When there is concern regarding the possibility of an ongoing subsurface oxidation event, or landfill fire, the presence in the landfill gas of compounds that are more stable at the high temperatures of such an event (above 500 °C) can be evidence for such a process occurring.
