Claim 2:
3. A system for remote monitoring and control of flare activity in a landfill facility for disposal of waste materials, comprising:
a memory;
a display for viewing by a user;
a processor coupled to the memory programmed with executable instructions, the instructions including a landfill interface for obtaining specific real-time data relating to landfill activity comprising gas pressure data; and
a flare control valve or blower 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,
display the analysis results on the display, and
receive instructions from the user to send a control signal to the flare control valve to increase or decrease the amount of flare gas provided to the flare, based on a determination made by the user after reviewing the results of the analysis of the landfill activity data.
