  • Patent number: 12467857
    Abstract: A system may include a flow valve coupled to a gas inlet of a landfill gas system and a pump coupled to the flow valve and configured to draw gas from the landfill gas system via the gas inlet. The system may further include an oxygen sensor comprising at least one laser configured to detect oxygen concentration in the gas, a carbon dioxide sensor comprising at least one infrared light source configured to detect carbon dioxide concentration in the gas, and/or one or more chemical sensors configured to sense concentrations of a respective one or more chemicals in the gas. A microprocessor may determine sensed data including at least the oxygen concentration, the carbon dioxide concentration, concentrations of the one or more chemicals, the static pressure, the atmospheric pressure, and/or a differential pressure, and communicate the sensed data to a mobile control device.
