LFG
Monitoring and Control
The GEM-500 was
specifically designed by Landfill Control Technologies (LANDTEC) for use on
landfills to monitor landfill gas (LFG) migration control systems, gas
extraction systems, flares, migration probes, LEL levels, subsurface fires, and
more.
The light-weight, portable unit integrates nine field instruments
with an on-board computer. The versatile monitor provides landfill technicians
with an array of analysis and computation functions. The results can be stored,
printed and later downloaded to a personal computer to provide error-free data
management.
Multi-Functional Features:
The GEM-500 automatically samples and analyzes the methane, carbon
dioxide and oxygen content of landfill gas. The easy to
read LCD screen shows the results as percentages of CH4,
C02, 02 and "balance" gas (typically nitrogen). The
GEM-500 also calculates and displays gas flow rate. Btu content, temperature,
pressures and LEL (Lower Explosive Limit).
In addition, the user
can recall prior data stored at up to 500 monitoring points for contrast with
current data. Alarms can easily be set for methane and oxygen.
The
GEM-500 can automatically calculate gas flowrates, adjusted to standard
temperature and pressure (STP). The results can be displayed in either Imperial
(USA) or SI (metric) units.
LANDTEC's versatile GEM-500 can be used
with Orifice plate and Pitot tube meters, but most effectively on LANDTEC's
Accu-Flo™ wellheads, which incorporates a built-in precalibrated gas flow
meter and quick-connect sample ports.
The Accu-Flo™ wellhead and
GEM-500 were designed to work together to expedite the time required to sample
and adjust LFG wellheads.
