How the LoCI System Works

At the core of the LoCI system is a simple principle: data only matters when it drives action.

 

WellWatcher uses your real-time field signals, interprets what your landfill needs, and generates a daily, site-specific action plan that guides operators towards improved capture and system stability, with 24/7 customer support.

WellWatcher integrates your 24/7 field data and site-wide aggregate measurements, enabling LoCI's automation algorithms to operate across the full system using all the data that matters.
  • Gas composition
  • Flow
  • Pressures
  • Liquid Level
  • Temperature
  • Valve Position
  • Tuning Strategy
Everything in one place, giving you the power to optimize operations from anywhere, anytime. 

 

A Smarter Start to Every Day

Before the sun’s up, the first thing William does is pour a cup of coffee and open LoCI’s WellWatcher®.

 

“I can see what’s happening across the whole site in seconds,” he says. “If a well needs attention, I know exactly where to send my team before they even clock in.”  For him, real-time visibility means everything. Less guessing. Fewer surprises. More uptime.

“With LoCI now in place, it gives us good-quality gas where it needs to be without a lot of intervention...I can see everything that’s happening within the landfill, temperature drops, oxygen levels, any sign of trouble, and respond before small issues become catastrophic.”

"It’s made my mornings easier,” he says, “and my site a lot more predictable.”
Since implementing LoCI, William’s facility has improved efficiency from 86 percent to 98 percent, proof that better visibility leads to better performance.

 

The Operational Impact of Real-Time Field Intelligence 

Real-time field data changes how gas capture performs day to day, not just how it looks on a dashboard.

By continuously monitoring and adjusting well performance, LoCI helps stabilize vacuum, flow, and gas quality across the wellfield, even as waste conditions and environmental factors shift. Instead of relying on periodic, manual tuning cycles, your system is constantly optimizing itself.

The result is more consistent methane capture, fewer quality fluctuations, and performance you can actually maintain over time.

When your wellfield streams live data, you no longer have to wait for scheduled field walks to understand what’s happening underground.

Real-time alerts and automated adjustments help surface issues as they develop. Whether it’s a vacuum imbalance, declining well performance, or a change in gas quality. Instead of reacting after problems escalate, teams can address them sooner and with better precision.

That means less guesswork, fewer unnecessary field visits, and safer, more efficient workflows.

Operational issues don’t usually start big, they build slowly.

With continuous insight into well and system performance, teams can detect early warning signs before they turn into outages or plant disruptions. Real-time field intelligence supports more stable gas delivery and fewer interruptions to downstream processes.

For operators, this means improved plant uptime, more predictable throughput, and less time spent in reactive mode.

 

The Hardware Behind Smarter Landfill Management

Controller

  • Measures landfill gas composition, including methane, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and calculated balance gas, along with temperature/ambient temperature and barometric pressure
  • Measures flow at each collection well using patented Venturi Flo-Wing®
  • Automated control based on LoCI's algorithms, the landfill collection system operator’s set points, or via "remote manual" valve adjustments
  • Automated, precision-controlled ball valve that regulates flow at each well
  • Actuated ball valves available in 2", 3", or 4"

 

Sentry

  • Measures landfill gas composition in header, including methane, oxygen, carbon dioxide, calculated balance gas
  • Measures header temperature and pressure
  • Can connect to an external customer-supplied flow meter
  • Data displayed in real time on the WellWatcher® platform

 

 

 

Liquid Level Measurement

  • Integrated, airtight device measures liquid levels inside wellbore within ±1 foot accuracy
  • Text or email alerts notify on-site personnel when liquid levels exceed thresholds
  • Standard well caps can be used with LoCI's Liquid Level Measurement system
