Claim 3:
4. A system for remote monitoring and control of flare activity in a landfill facility for disposal of waste materials, comprising:
a memory;
a processor coupled to the memory programmed with executable instructions, the instructions including a landfill data interface for obtaining specific real-time data relating to landfill activity comprising gas pressure data; and
a flare control valve or blower speed that is connected to a flare gas supply from the landfill and is operable to regulate the amount of flare gas delivered to the flare;
wherein the processor is configured to:
compare the obtained landfill activity real-time data with pre-stored information from a database,
analyze the difference between the obtained landfill activity real-time data and the stored information to identify whether the landfill activity has surpassed a pre-set threshold value, and
automatically send sending a control signal to the flare control valve or blower speed to increase or decrease the amount of flare gas provided to the flare based on the results of the analysis of the landfill activity real-time data.
