Continuous emissions intelligence, from landfill cells to community boundaries.

Landfill sites, waste transfer stations, and recycling facilities generate methane, H₂S, ammonia, VOCs, and particulate matter from decomposing waste, vehicle movements, and processing activity. These emissions are highly variable, driven by temperature, wind, rainfall, and operational activity, and can spike rapidly without warning.


Complaints from surrounding communities often arrive before site teams have any data. Periodic inspections capture a moment in time, not the conditions that cause odour events, permit exceedances, or worker exposure incidents. Without continuous, real-time monitoring across operational areas and site boundaries, waste operators are always managing reactively.

THE CHALLENGE

Waste sites generate odour, methane, and toxic gases that are intermittent, unpredictable, and routinely missed by periodic inspection.

Persium deploys sensor networks across active waste cells, processing areas, vehicle access routes, and site perimeters, continuously monitoring methane, H₂S, ammonia, VOCs, PM2.5, PM10, noise, and wind in real time. When readings cross configurable thresholds, automated alerts notify operational and HSE teams immediately, enabling response before a community complaint, a regulatory notice, or a worker safety incident. All data is time-stamped, exportable, and audit-ready from day one.

WHAT PERSIUM DOES

Continuous emissions intelligence, from landfill cells to community boundaries.

Landfill gas monitoring

Continuous methane and H₂S monitoring across active and closed landfill cells, detecting fugitive gas migration, identifying abnormal emission patterns, and generating the auditable records required by Environment Agency permit conditions and EPR reporting frameworks.


Odour management

Real-time H₂S, ammonia, mercaptan, and VOC monitoring at operational areas and site perimeters, providing the data to identify odour events at source, correlate them with wind direction, and demonstrate response times to regulators and communities.


Community impact monitoring

Perimeter sensors capture how emissions travel beyond the site boundary into surrounding residential areas, generating transparent, time-stamped evidence of boundary conditions that community engagement and planning obligations require.


Worker health and safety

Continuous H₂S and VOC monitoring in waste handling, processing, and enclosed operational areas, alerting workers and site teams before concentrations reach dangerous levels. Defensible exposure records for H&S audits and incident investigations.


Dust and PM monitoring

Waste transfer stations and open landfill cells generate significant particulate matter from vehicle movements, tipping, and wind erosion. Continuous PM10 and PM2.5 monitoring across operational areas and perimeter boundaries, with threshold alerts and wind-correlated source attribution.


Noise monitoring

Waste facilities near residential areas face increasing noise regulation. Persium Pods monitor sound levels continuously alongside emissions, delivering a unified environmental dataset from a single deployed sensor, without separate noise monitoring equipment.


Wind-aware source apportionment

Every Persium Pod includes a built-in 3D wind sensor. Correlating emission spikes with wind direction and speed identifies which operational area or cell is driving odour and gas events, enabling targeted response rather than site-wide operational changes.


Regulatory and permit compliance reporting

Generate continuous, auditable records that satisfy Environmental Permit conditions, Environment Agency reporting requirements, and EPR obligations. Time-stamped data that demonstrates compliance, and demonstrates it proactively, not in response to an enforcement notice.

Monitoring Applications

What waste management operators use Persium for.

What waste management operators use Persium for.

In the UK, Environmental Permit conditions for landfill and waste treatment facilities routinely require continuous boundary monitoring for odour, methane, and particulate matter, with data accessible to the Environment Agency on request.


The revised EU Industrial Emissions Directive expands continuous monitoring requirements for large waste installations, including energy from waste facilities and hazardous waste treatment sites. Under EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) frameworks, operators must demonstrate environmental performance with verifiable data, not periodic estimates. Communities surrounding waste sites are increasingly organised and vocal, and local authorities are under pressure to enforce permit conditions more actively. Persium provides the continuous monitoring infrastructure that keeps operators ahead of complaints, enforcement, and regulatory change.

Waste sites often lack reliable power and network infrastructure across operational areas and boundary positions. Persium Pods are solar-powered and cellular-connected, deployable across any location on site from day one, without infrastructure investment. Engineered for outdoor conditions, resistant to dust and variable weather, and operational at temperatures from −40°C to +85°C. One platform manages sensors across the entire site, from active landfill cells and processing areas to perimeter boundaries and community monitoring points.
