    摘要: A system for extracting landfill gas from a landfill is provided. According to some embodiments, a control system for landfill gas extraction is provided. The control system uses a throttle to control flow of landfill gas extracted from the landfill. The throttle is actuated in use to vary the flow of gas between a well and a gas collection system, in accordance with a control algorithm that adjusts flow as a parameter in controlling gas extraction. The throttle is configured to ensure that there is at least some flow of landfill gas from the landfill to a gas output throughout operation. The extraction system provides an efficient system for landfill gas extraction, while mitigating a risk of creating undesired or unpleasant conditions and/or of violating regulations during operation.

    摘要: There is provided techniques for determining an estimate of gas emissions in a landfill. Some techniques provide for obtaining a plurality of measures and determining an estimate of methane emissions by using a gas emissions model to process the plurality of measures, and outputting the estimate of methane emissions. The plurality of measures may include emissions measurements such as methane emissions and/or measures of at least one environmental characteristic such as wind speed and/or direction, turbulence, and/or atmospheric stability. The estimate of gas emissions may be displayed and/or used to determine whether to cause a corrective action to be performed, such as adjusting a flow rate of landfill gas being extracted from the landfill.
