Numerous industry, such as but not limited to municipal solid waste management, and wastewater treatment generate a large number of waste gas streams. Carbon dioxide and methane are examples of waste gas generated from process steps including the combustion of fossil fuels and ethanol fermentation.

Phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins are synthetic polymers which have a market value of $10 billion globally per year. They are used in a wide variety of products, including coatings, adhesives, laminates, and engineered plastics.

Current data collection and archiving methods are time-consuming and error-prone. Field scientists and technicians must carry a wide variety of sampling devices that inherently lack the ability to communicate with each other – often relying on a pen-and-paper system of recording and annotation.

This invention increases the range for which wireless sensor networks can communicate with a programmable chip by leveraging power amplification techniques.
