With the Corporate Office in Fall River, MA and aTechnology Center in Somerville, Loci Controls provides a hardware-enabled service to help landfills extract energy from trash. The firm's device optimizes gas collection at landfills through their continuous monitoring and automatic controlled device called WellWatcher-- hardware is capable of continuously monitoring landfill gas for CH4, CO2, and O2 composition as well as flow rate, temperature and pressure. Wireless capabilities allow all data to be viewed in real-time, leading to an unprecedented level of information. The firm's system is also capable of making automatic adjustments to individual well extraction pressures, essentially acting as a self-tuning wellhead. As feedback is received from Lociâs continuous monitoring capabilities it is immediately fed into a custom control algorithm and the system adjusts extraction pressure based on the siteâs optimization goa
