Loci Controls

LoCI Controls, Inc. is an environmental services data and technology company. LoCI Controls develops software and devices that utilize a wireless sensor network to optimize the extraction of methane from landfills.

Background

The company was founded by two MIT graduate students, Andrew Campanella and Melinda Sims (née Hale) in 2013. LoCI Controls received a grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center in the amount of $40,000 USD in January 2014 as a partial section of its Catalyst Program.[1] The program invests in new researchers and companies.[2]

Technology & Impact

LoCI's system is designed to increase methane gas extraction from landfills. The software and hardware provide remote monitoring and control, versus historical practices, which require twice-monthly on-site monitoring and manual adjustments to extract the methane.

External Write-Ups

  • "The LoCI system offers tailored alerts, a custom algorithm that predicts needed adjustments to the gas collection system, and automatic controls to monitor gas production."[3]
  • "The reduction in methane results in less pollution, toxins and odors. With the LoCI Controls solution, revenue from landfill gas-to-energy plants is increased, risk of noncompliance is mitigated, and odor complaints can be instantly addressed."[4]
