gas…alarm…

Seen while visiting Xtime in Redwood Shores.

I get the high alarm given the landfill location… but why a low alarm?

  1. Maybe they are using the CH3 for something and they don’t want to run out. Some landfills collect it and run a small gas turbine to generate electricity, instead of just flaring it off.

  2. Also, methane is odorless. What you smell at the landfill are other decomposition byproducts (usually bacterial).

  3. Xtime is a service CRM company, focused on automotive to start.

  4. That’s gotta have an impact on resale value…. 8*o

  5. Useful to know all these things in case you need it one day,,,,

  6. Hehehehe! Actually I see the application important in smaller form for those who have a vision, hearing or sense of smell disability.

  7. It is fairly common to have a warning level alarm (yellow color) before a critical alarm (red), Presumably the warning alarm might trigger some corrective action and avert a more critical situation.

  8. Ah, of course… silly me thought it was a warning that the level was too low…
