The Regulatory Reality

Landfill methane is an invisible emergency

Methane is odourless at low concentration, migrates underground, and accumulates unpredictably — until it doesn't stay hidden. Independent satellite-derived observations already show repeated large methane releases at sites across South Africa. The question is no longer whether it's happening, but understanding when, why, and what to do about it.

The Robinson Deep landfill fire in Johannesburg brought weeks of toxic air and school closures.

Methane Monitoring for Oil & Gas, Mining, and Landfill

Continuous, measurement-based detection and quantification of methane emissions across upstream, midstream, mining, and landfill sites — powering our Methane Event & Plume Intelligence (MEPI) engine and meeting the reporting bar set by OGMP 2.0 and the EU Methane Regulation.

Evidence-Based Attribution: Every event is classified — HIGH_PRIORITY, BACKGROUND, or one of five source-attribution states — from cross-station wind-corroboration and satellite plume evidence, never magnitude alone.
Actionability-Driven Alerts: Alerting is keyed to an actionability class, not a fixed ppm threshold, with Telegram early-warning notification for high-priority events.
Post-Intervention Verification: Quantifies percent change after a repair or cover change — IMPROVED, WORSENED, or NO_MEANINGFUL_CHANGE — evidence for both LDAR and methane carbon credit verification.
Audit-Ready Reporting: Automated PDF/DOCX methane monitoring reports with a full evidence trail, built for OGMP 2.0 Level 4/5 submission.

Sensors, Data Loggers & Wind Sensors, Built for the Field

Own your data. Our solar-powered monitoring units combine methane and gas sensor arrays, wind sensors, and data loggers in a single field-ready enclosure.

Particulate Matter Sensors

The World Health Organization estimates that ambient air pollution, driven largely by fine particulate matter (PM2.5), contributes to millions of premature deaths every year worldwide, with cardiovascular and respiratory disease the leading causes. WHO's 2021 Global Air Quality Guidelines set an annual PM2.5 guideline of 5 micrograms per cubic meter, underscoring why continuous, site-level particulate monitoring matters for both compliance and public health.

World Health Organization, WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines (2021)
PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10Laser scattering technology with plus or minus 10 micrograms/m3 accuracy
Measurement Range0-1000 micrograms/m3 with real-time calibration

Wind Sensors & Data Loggers

The World Meteorological Organization's guidelines for surface meteorological observation set the accuracy and siting standards that underpin defensible plume-source attribution: representative wind speed and direction data, correctly sited and regularly calibrated, are the backbone of any dispersion or emission-quantification study. AireChemistry's meteorological sensors are specified to meet these operational standards.

Wind Speed0-60 m/s, accuracy plus or minus 0.3 m/s
Wind Direction0-360 degrees, accuracy plus or minus 3 degrees

Methane Plume Mapping (US EPA OTM-10)

For sites requiring a regulatory-grade emission rate rather than screening-level detection, AireChemistry deploys Vertical Radial Plume Mapping (VRPM) in accordance with US EPA Other Test Method 10 (OTM-10) — a path-integrated optical remote sensing methodology purpose-built for quantifying fugitive and area-source methane emission rates, cross-referenced against MEPI's continuous ground-sensor evidence.

Data, Interpretation & Public Reporting Principles

Screening ≠ statutory measurement

AireChemistry data support decision-making and investigation. Where a regulatory determination is required, a regulatory-grade reporting tool can be deployed separately.

Satellite data is a starting point, not a verdict

A single satellite observation is not automatically a persistent emission rate. Ground deployment exists precisely to establish continuity and context.

Methane presence ≠ immediate public-health event

Interpretation considers concentration, duration, meteorology, co-pollutants, exposure pathways, and the relevant regulatory framework.

Uncertainty is stated, not hidden

Reporting focuses on measured facts, trends, and significant events. Where an observation remains uncertain, that uncertainty is reported as such.
