Sanbornhead

Sanborn, Head & Associates, Inc. (product: Landfill Gas Management Suite / LFGMS) — Control-system-agnostic landfill SCADA historian aggregation, and the architectural detail is what makes it distinctive: LFGMS does not require replacing existing control systems — a Data Acquisition Server is bolted onto whatever control system a site already runs (wired, or by radio for remote installations) and records 'any data point in your control system' at a fixed 5-MINUTE INTERVAL, uploading periodically to the cloud over cellular and BUFFERING LOCALLY THROUGH CONNECTIVITY OUTAGES to backfill once res…

Sanbornhead offers (Alternative, ESG, Geospatial, Supply Chain, Reference) — Uniform and predictable rather than sprawling: every integrated control-system point is recorded at a fixed 5-minute interval, i.e. 288 records per point per day, ~105,000 per point per year, with no gaps because the Data Acquisition Server buffers locally through cellular outages and backfills. Landfill gas collection and control systems routinely carry hundreds to low thousands of monitored points (wells, wellheaders, vaults, pumps, sumps, flare, gensets), so a single site plausibly yields tens of millions of point-readings per year and the multi-client estate reaches hundreds of billions cumulatively. Byte-footprint is modest because the data is scalar, but the uniform-interval structure is the analytically valuable part: 5-minute synchronised series across differing control systems can be directly compared without resampling or gap-filling..

Cross-client landfill benchmarking of gas collection rate per tonnage and per cell, system-vacuum operating envelopes, and flare/energy performance across many operators — an engineering consultancy's multi-client archive is one of the few places this comparison exists at all; capture-efficiency and vacuum-optimisation modelling using the vacuum-versus-flow causal pair, which is the direct control lever for both compliance and RNG revenue; abnormal-operation and well/leachate failure detection trained on the head-versus-flow diagnostic pairs the platform is explicitly built to inspect; gas-to-energy production forecasting and renewable-natural-gas yield/credit diligence from energy production plus flow series; regulatory compliance and LFGTC permit-support analytics (the firm is an LFG collection-and-control design engineer, so the archive is aligned to how permits and NSPS obligations are actually evaluated); leachate management and pump-station optimisation; closure and post-closure liability estimation from long-run declining gas and leachate curves; and control-system vendor/instrument performance comparison — a niche but genuinely useful dataset for evaluating SCADA and telemetry choices across the industry.

The data is with 6 years of history.
