Control Panel for Methane Mitigation System

Control Panel in a Methane Mitigation System

Control Panel of a Methane Mitigation System: A methane mitigation control panel is the brain behind the active mitigation system. In accordance with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) Methane Code, Ordinance Number 175790, a control panel synchronizes methane alarm units with sensors and the active ventilation systems on-site. For instance, the control panel of a methane mitigation system activates the sub-slab soil vapor extraction system and HVAC system when high levels of methane soil gas occur.

  • Growth Fault

    Growth Fault Growth Fault: In geology, a growth fault is a strike-slip fault or dip-slip fault that moves contemporaneously with deposition. This causes the throw (amount of vertical displacement) to increase with depth and the strata to be thicker on the downthrown side as compared to the upthrown side.
