  • Patent number: 12422789
    Abstract: An automated wellhead monitoring and control system. The system is communicatively coupled to one or more LFG wellheads as well as other desired landfill components. The system receives and aggregates both real-time and historical data related to the operation of landfill components at a single site and/or integrates numerous sites for comparison. The system controls the LFG wellheads and other desired landfill components based on the real-time, forecasted, and historical data, and utilizes various algorithms, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to effectuate such control.
