LAI Srl designs and manufactures electrical panels and automation systems in-house for biogas, cogeneration and gas treatment plants, covering the full range of applications: from small plants with a single cogeneration unit to complex systems with multiple engines, safety flares, scrubbers, RTOs and landfill biogas collection stations. Developing our automation in-house—rather than relying on standard off-the-shelf solutions—allows us to tailor the control system to each plant’s specific needs, ensure full integration across all components and provide customers with a single point of technical responsibility for the entire control platform.



At the heart of every LAI control panel is a state-of-the-art PLC—Siemens S7 or Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, depending on the customer's preference—programmed by our technical department with firmware developed over years of experience across dozens of operating plants. The control logic manages the sequential start-up and shutdown of components in accordance with validated safety procedures; automatic adjustment of engine load based on gas availability and quality; all electrical and mechanical protections required by applicable regulations; engine temperature and cooling; supervision of the gas purification system, with an interface to online analyzers; and all safety interlocks required by the plant's environmental permits.
